Ella Fence ProfileThe latest clip from Brisbane electro-pop artist Ella Fence embraces the best elements of DIY filmmaking and producing content “from the gut”.
The visual representation for single Love Me On Purpose is a collaboration between Fence, filmmaker Martin Ingle and award-winning dancer/circus artist Pearl Thompson.
"The lyrics ‘love me in the daytime’ are my favourite line from the track – because fleeting and flakey ‘love’, in my experience, tends to be fuelled by the evening - when there’s alcohol and the vibrancy of the night,” Fence told The Music.
“Something about wanting to be a part of someone’s day life feels different to me than only wanting to be part of their night life.”
Ingle added: "I saw Pearl dance once - literally once - and was shocked by her ability to emote so powerfully with her face as well as her body,” Ingle said.
“I can find it difficult to emotionally connect with dance sometimes - but with Pearl this isn't the case. I'm so glad she was keen to jump on board this crazy idea and didn't seem too daunted when I suggested doing it in one continuous shot.
"I love that low-budget, do-it-yourself stuff - filmmaking from the gut. Ella's music is so good that you don’t need to dress it up with millions of dollars: it speaks for itself if you get out of the way and let it evolve."
Featuring mostly-improvised dance and movement, Love Me On Purpose was shot in an abandoned heritage-listed shoe factory in Brisbane and filmed entirely on a smartphone.
