<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I got the brief from Columbia Records through my production company <a href="http://agilefilms.com/" target="_blank">Agile Films</a>.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The technique was inspired by a British sculptor and filmmaker called Tony Hill. Since the 70s he’s been making a series of films based on unique camera rigs that he builds and operates himself. He more or less invented a lot of what you see in music videos these days 30 years ago. In the early 2000s he made an advert for a hilariously kitsch hatchback with sliding doors that employed the orbital movement you see in the video for ‘Nobody Else’, and I shamelessly ripped it off. I actually went to visit Tony in Cornwall to try and borrow the rig itself but it was sadly dismantled, though he did very kindly talk me through a lot of his projects which ended up being one of the best afternoons I've ever spent as a filmmaker. </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Content-wise the video was very loosely inspired by a 1960s hippy commune in Mexico called San Miguel De Allende. There’s a lot of amazing photography that’s emerged from it recently that I’ve become quite obsessed with - this slacker utopia with an amazing aesthetic.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Oh god. Well when Tony broke the bad news that his rig didn’t exist anymore I found myself in a bit of a pickle - I’d basically pitched on the vain assumption that we could borrow it. We had to very quickly find a different way to get the camera to orbit around a central point without track, which is surprisingly hard. The solution ended up being a motion control crane which was not ideal - the general rule with motion control seems to be that something will always go wrong which will lose you half a day. And of course that happened on this one. So it ended up being a crazy rushed, one take per setup sort of deal.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><b>What were the limitations you faced with the production?</b></span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The producer Javi Alejandro is an absolute wizard. He’d just done the Henry Scholfield videos for Stormzy and Wiley and his game was genuinely next level, he never says no to anything. So even though the budget wasn’t massive it never felt like that was very limiting. </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">So I suppose the biggest limitation was time, really. I’d originally pitched shooting the whole thing in multiple locations, which would have been nice but didn’t end up being practical with all the hours of rigging and de-rigging it would have required. We ended up finding a corn field with a meadow directly behind it so all we needed to do to change location was flip the crane 180 degrees. The other big thing was that on the day it emerged that the motion control arm could only move at about 50% of the speed we’d been promised, which was a bit of a blow. I’d made a pre-viz in Blender which assumed a specific speed of motion so it that was a spanner in the works that I had to ad-lib around. </span></span></div>

There are the obvious associations with dreaming, but I also think that when you see a grown man wearing them they add a layer of vulnerability, because I associate them with childhood. The lyrics also begin with Serge saying “I don’t want to go to work today” which is a feeling I very much link to lying in bed, so there’s that too. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">We shot on an Arri 416 with Cooke S4s. Spike wanted to shoot on Etkachrome which Kodak have just re-released but the turnaround at the moment is something like 2 weeks which doesn’t really work for music videos given the tight schedules. So it ended up being good old-fashioned Vision 3 which we pushed a stop.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Serge was very involved, he really knows what he wants and has a rare eye for detail and nuance.

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">It’s a difficult one because a lot of the finessing I wanted to do got lost in the mad rush following the motion control hiccups. Generally speaking I wouldn't shoot motion control without a pre-light specifically because you need that extra time to calibrate everything and make sure it’s working. But our hands were tied by the fact we only had the budget for a single day with the motion control guys. </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Assuming the motion control worked without issue I would have liked to have spent more time on the transitions. There are one or two in there I really love, where the parallax is really obvious, but I think too many of them end up feeling a little flat. I also ended up having to make the call to keep the foreground transition elements static because we were so up against it on the day that there wasn't time to rehearse the blocking properly. I think it would have been really cool if they were moving.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I've actually been best friends with the Lime boys for a few years now. This is the 4th music video I've shot for the band. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When they first approached me I told them I wasn't able to make it work within the time frame as I was going to be in the USA for the month leading up to the release. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">After I told them my return date, they pushed back the release 1 week, bought me a beer at the pub and told me I now had no excuse. I was in! </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When they told me the name of the track and I first listened to it, there was no way I could avoid the topic of money or wealth. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I didn't want to make something that was too related to the lyrics, but I knew the boys wanted to be in it, and for it to have the same kooky vibe as clips like 'Naturally'. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I wanted it to have a more serious tone than 'Naturally' but when we got on set and I saw the boys in their different outfits, their kooky nature just came through but I was vibing it and just rolled with it! </span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">By far the hardest music video to produce because I was in the states for the month leading up to the shoot, brainstorming and writing on long drives and in hotel rooms with my girlfriend (production designer) Lena Buchanan.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had 3 jet-lagged days back in Sydney before the shoot where we were running around like crazy after my stylist had to pull out last minute. We shot over the Australia Day long weekend at the location in Avalon. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">One key thing I do for every music video is to storyboard the whole storyline in Premiere pro. I use title cards which describe the shot/scene/action as it plays along to the song. This really helps with knowing what you need & what you don't need, how long you need a shot and how the story unfolds. I'm able to send it to the crew so everyone is onboard with the story and how it plays out. It's an amazing feeling when you're in the edit and you see the exact shots play out just as if you were watching the original storyboard. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Definitely the biggest limitation was the fact I was overseas leading up to the shoot. Jakson (Producer) & I were trying to cast people which was extremely hard. It was stressing me out big time so I after many minor freak outs staring out into the desert of Utah and Nevada, Lena calmly suggested that I just get Oli & Louis to play the married couple… Immediately it clicked in my head, that could be the answer! I ran it by Oli & Louis and they loved the idea - problem solved! (I owe credit to Lena as I feel this was really the saving grace of this film - and my sanity) </span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Lena Buchanan (Production Designer/Writer) - My main collaborator on all my films, from the original brainstorm/writing to location recces, to wardrobe/character decisions, to input on the final edits. We have such a similar taste in film making and photography so its really important to have her with me to make crucial decisions I can't always make on my own. I run far too many ideas by her, I'm surprised she's still willing to work with me!<br />
</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Tommy Austin (1st AC) - My main man when it comes to running the camera department, He reads my mind, throw suggestions at me, pulls focus and allows me to take on the intense roll of Director & DOP. </span></span></div>

I really enjoyed working with him and loved what he brought to the table. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We shot on my Red EPIC Dragon with a Canon 17-120 Cine Zoom with a servo remote to ensure smooth zooms. We also used dolly tracks to create some dynamic movements through certain scenes. Tommy was running his wireless video/focus setup which free'd up space around me when operating the camera. The wireless video also allowed me to step back from the camera in between takes to watch playback whilst looking at the scene from a different perspective, which really helped when moving into close ups/reverses etc. We used a lot of natural light which we shaped, along with a Kinoflo 4 bank, some LED panels and some Arri 1K/2K's. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The band were very involved, Oli and Louis were across most of the decisions made in pre-production. Im very lucky to have the band & the team at Chugg Music trust me enough to just run with my own vision. It's so nice to work with clients that hire you for your style and let you run with it - I only ever had support and no criticism! </span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I was introduced to Ecca at a festival in Brisbane a couple of years ago and we got chatting after her show.

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The nostalgic hip-hop vibe and outer space themes of the track led to the main reference point being halfway between Beastie Boys - Intergalactic & Missy Elliott - The Rain. I love that era and it felt like an appropriate homage.<br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It was 40’C degrees in Martin Place when we shot Ecca & Sampa in those oversized ski jackets. And thunder storming when they were in tracksuits outside the Sirius in The Rocks. We had to cut a few scenes and take a lot of breaks.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">For me, the song was about feeling lost at the end of a relationship and how difficult it can be to pull yourself back together. I had an idea of lonely strangers sharing a moment of togetherness at night – we all felt this was a solid thematic match. Pacing wise, the song picks up quite a bit in the chorus, so the biggest concern was to have visuals that kept the story moving along quickly. The clip was all about moments rather than scenes.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I was inspired by the photography of Gregory Crewdson, William Broadhurst, Robby Müller’s cinematography on Paris Texas and the paintings of Jeffrey Smart. These artists share a beautifully dystopian and alienating tone in their work.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had a week of pre – locations were the biggest concern as there were so many of them!</span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We shot in Sydney, but I had to fly down to Wellington and back right in the middle of preproduction for a film development lab. This made things tight!</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gregoire Liere (our DOP) and I would drive around scouting Western Sydney every night during pre. I’d pick him up at dusk and we’d keep scouting until the early hours of the morning – we had to see the locations at night as we shot the entire clip at night. It was exhausting but we had a lot of laughs and even more energy drinks!</span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We were uncompromising with casting – only choosing people who would bring something unique to the roles. We went after some of the best actors in Australia – and we were lucky enough to cast Richard Green (Snowtown, Boxing Day). We were confirming people right up to the night before the shoot.</span></span></div>

<div class="p3" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had one night of principal photography with a proper crew (1st AD, AC's, gaffer, art dept, wardrobe etc.), where we shot with the main actors. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">For the subsequent three nights Gregoire and I drove around shooting B roll. We shot doco style – finding real people and getting them to sign releases on the spot. This part of the clip was shot with available light. We almost got beaten up by bikers we were filming near but we talked our way out of it. They thought we were a news crew!</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The doco style footage is used at the beginning of the clip and blended with the footage of the actors. The intention of this was to make the audience feel as though these characters were real people.</span></span></div>

<div class="p3" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The bedroom location is Mason from DMA's actual room. The band were initially hesitant to include a performance element to the clip because they didn't want to distract from the characters in the narrative part of the clip. We pushed for it to help with pacing and bring it back to the song. We knew that Tommy’s performance would feel separated from the narrative characters because he's the only person indoors. All of the other characters in the clip are out in the lonely streets – away from their homes.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our editor Stew Arnott was awesome as well. I sat in for most of the edit (at The Editors, Sydney) and we jammed on different ways of telling the narrative. I love having an editor who’s removed from production – as they’re not bias to what happened during the shoot. If it was a massive shot that took 2 hours, they don’t give a shit. They see the shot for the content which is all that matters. You need to be brutal, which Stew was.</span></span></div>

She slayed the casting and went after the best talent in Sydney.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">A lot of the clip was filmed with available lighting – the Alexa handled the low light conditions really well. We shot most of the clip at 800 ASA but had to go to 1600 ASA when we were struggling with low light. We shot raw to give us more room to move in the grade.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>How were you approached for the job?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I work as an art director on the
side and had done the production design and costume design on Mark’s last music
video ‘Another Necklace’. So after that project I was offered the opportunity
to pitch for his next two music videos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>What inspired you on your idea for
the video?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The idea actually came to me
straight away and was very loosely based on the first short film I wrote and
directed while at film school. It also dealt with an elderly man losing his
wife and going into a state of shock and denial (however I did replace a blow
up doll with a dance hall full of spandex attired ‘senior citizens’) – so
they’re pretty different.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I was conscious from the outset that
I wanted to avoid a clichéd break-up premise, as I think it would have felt
overly sentimental. The music had a strong repetitive beat and ‘boppiness’ that
I felt lended itself to a degree of quirkiness and playfulness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m also a huge fan of ‘daggy’ dancing
and the 80s in general, and have always wanted to shoot something that
incorporates the two.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I see the dance scenes as a metaphor
for lost youth, vitality and freedom – I liked the idea of juxtaposing a crazy,
colourful world filled with big characters to a blue, lonely and isolated
world, representing his grief and displacement once his wife of 50 years has
passed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">My visual inspiration came largely
from Wes Anderson and </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Pedro Almodóvar.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>Tell us about the production
process?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After Mark signed off on the
project, it was a matter of me breaking up the song into ‘scenes’. Given that
this was essentially a dance piece that would be heavily dependent upon the
moves and cuts fitting the beats, this project required a degree of specificity
that I wouldn’t ordinarily enforce on a project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Location scouting came first – I
wanted to find the right space that was reminiscent of the 80s and aerobics
videos. Balmain Town Hall was the right fit and formed the colour palette, so I
started sourcing costumes and dressing props. Costumes proved harder and more
expensive than anticipated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Then casting. Which luckily wasn’t
too difficult, as I had worked with most of the actors before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I worked with an awesome choreographer;
Megan Guest, who I think ironically found the job challenging, as it was
strange for her that I was constantly saying: “it needs to be simpler and
daggier… and we need more hot potato”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We recorded the dance and sent it
out to the cast in advance and then did a rehearsal a few days before the
shoot. A few of the cast had bad hips and knees, which meant making changes to
accommodate which was all pretty hilarious at the time, quite a surreal
atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The shoot day was pretty manic in
the sense that we were fighting the clock, but that’s standard. The atmosphere
on the day was really positive and fun… it was just really playful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></div>

with the production?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">An insanely tight budget, which
meant I was wearing the hat of producer, director, art director, wardrobe and
editor, which is never ideal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was a one-day shoot, so we were pushed for time on the day, and ultimately I
had to compromise on some shots.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I think I had a couple of weeks for
pre and then after the shoot we had the video cut and graded within about 10
days. I was balancing the post on this with the pre for Mark’s other music
video (which was far more ambitious), as well as another project I shot the
week after, so it was an intense couple of weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I had worked with the whole crew
before. My DP was Dale Bremner, who I have collaborated with on many projects
now. Sam Powyer was a kick-arse camera assist and an amazing DP in his own
right. Hair & Makeup was by the amazing Nicola Besse. She’s a pro and an
awesome, calm energy to have on set.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The two lead actors, Peter McAllum
and Tricia Youlden, reprised their roles from the short and I had worked with most
of the other actors previously on other projects. Jude Kham, who played the instructor,
is an old friend of mine who I directed in a fashion show years ago and will
never forget how she stole the limelight. She is larger than life!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -2.85pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We shot on an Arri Alexa, with vintage
lenses, as we didn’t want it to look too crisp and wanted it to feel almost
like you were watching a genuine 80’s aerobics video on VHS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Skinner approached us in
December 2015 about producing/directing a project for High On Fire. We first
met Skinner while working on Mastodon's "Asleep in the Deep" and
developed a really amazing creative partnership that we wanted to continue. We
knew we wanted to create something traditionally animated based on
Skinner's conceptual designs but there wasn't a story yet. We also knew that
the budget from the label wasn't going to line up with what we wanted to
produce so we became EP's and funded a big part of the project. This put us in
a unique position as far as creative control. It was a true collaboration between
us, Skinner and High On Fire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Skinner had a simple story
about Humans v Monsters on an alien planet locked in a endless war in which an
indigenous species of creatures ended up monopolizing the results of a bloody
battle. Gina and I then through storyboarding/edit started to add and enhance
the narrative. We made the hero blinded by hubris and ego willing to sacrifice
his army to finally defeat his longtime nemesis. Gina totally reworked the
indigenous creatures to be a lone female Yeti that was more of a shaman/witch
that had been plotting to take advantage of the warring factions for some time.
She essentially became "The Black Plot". <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The process was very
similar to an animated feature film but with a much smaller team of artists.
Skinner created the initial concept designs but we had to simplify them to be
more animatable. His artwork is so special and unique it was challenging
translating it into three dimensions. Gina's editing on this project was
probably on of the most crucial creative aspects. She treated this bombastic
metal song into as a film score that had three major story arcs in six minutes.
You don't see that with music videos these days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">As far as the design, we
knew pretty early on we wanted treat this as a mix media project. That is why
there is digital glitch, hyper detailed matte paintings, and CGI all
co-existing harmoniously. It is something Gina and I like to do with almost all
of our projects. This process creates a more robust original look. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We had to produce this
project while commercial projects were happening at our studio. Having to
juggle corporate clients and something this ambitious was very challenging and
not something I am going to repeat. The budget was also very challenging. 2D animation
is very expensive and laborious and most of our team was in Canada so that
added another layer of production complexity to the project. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Comprising was never an
option for us that was the big motivator to reboot the project with a new
animation team but simplifying some action, using more of Skinner's matte
paintings and moving some animation and other FX into comp was our solution. In
the end, we probably had too many characters but we had to match the intensity of the
song. I love that you need to watch the video a couple times to catch all of
the animation and layers of the scenes. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

animation lead Simon Ampel contributed quite a lot. He is one of the few
animators in NYC that can animate Frank Frazetta/Jack Kirby style heroes
and monsters. Also animators David Routhier and Sam Leyja also added so much to
this project. Our editor/C4D artist Jonah Oskow created all of that amazing
Kirby Krackle animation during the dream/death sequence. One other
collaborator/supporter was Adult Swim. I can't thank them enough for airing a
teaser and the video. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We never got any creative input. We actually created all of the marketing
assets as well. Which include a trailer, 4 montage clips for social media and a
PR deck. I really wanted to create a cinematic Hollywood trailer for it that
got people amped to tune into Adult Swim so our collaborator <a href="http://lifelessone.com/" target="_blank">Chris Denman</a> scored
the trailer with those metal BRAHHMMMMS you hear in the intro. It's over used
with Hollywood films but I thought if they were guitar chords it would breathe
some new life into the format. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

next project we produce with Skinner we are going to travel to Oakland. I feel
the pre-production stage is the most important in the animation process.

need to be in the same room with your collaborators to produce the best work

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We have multiple animation
projects in development right now because of "The Black Plot". HBJ is
developing a series as well. We want to make the "Breaking Bad" of
dramatic animated episodic content. We had the biggest metal band in the
world reach out about a video but we had to pass because of schedule. Hopefully
we can work together in the future. We love working with Skinner as well and
can't wait to collaborate with him again soon. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

approached for the job?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The track came
direct from Mass Appeal Records, who contacted <a href="http://www.pulsefilms.com/" target="_blank">Pulse</a>, and then Pulse sent it on
to me. I was actually in Canada at the time, right in the middle of another
project, location scouting in the wilds of the Yukon. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had no time to
think properly but immediately loved the track. Whilst we were scouting I
listened to it on repeat and jotted down my initial ideas. One of which was
this. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I quickly put it
into a one-page treatment and we sent it over to the guys at Mass Appeal. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If I’m honest,
despite Run The Jewel’s outwardly political standpoint, I thought they probably
wouldn’t go for the concept but we quickly heard that Shadow and RTJ’s camps
both loved the idea. Next was the tricky bit in working out how we were going
to make it happen and do justice to the banging track.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 2.25pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I listened to the track I couldn’t help but
think how awesomely ridiculous Mike and El’s lyrics were and how the track
almost subverted the typical ‘rap battle’ as each rapper tried to verbally out
do the other with more and more disgusting and preposterous insults.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 2.25pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 2.25pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I got thinking about real-life scenarios where people
battle verbally and probably due to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Trump
fucks his youngest”</i> line, I thought “wouldn’t it be hilarious to have two
political leaders facing off in a heated debate using these awesome lyrics?!” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 2.25pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 2.25pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The concept grew and built from there. However,
despite the ridiculousness of the situation, I was adamant that the
performances should be played completely straight, the humour coming from the
set-up, rather than a hammy, over the top approach and style.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We shot the video
in the Ukraine and the <a href="http://radioaktivefilm.com/" target="_blank">Radioaktive</a> guys absolutely smashed it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because the whole
idea takes place in one place, getting the location right was absolutely key, and
it became a bit of an obsession of mine! We ended up scouting a lot of places
but once I stepped foot in Ukraine House, I knew we had found the perfect
space. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next part of
the puzzle was dressing it. We actually found the tables and chairs in a
different location that we had scouted previously. It was amazing that they let
us use them!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’d worked with
Sergey Vinnichuk, the Art Director before and it was awesome to have him on
board again. His attention to detail was absolutely spot on and the set looked
amazing once he’d finished with it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had 1
rehearsal day before the shoot. In the morning I worked with our two leads Igor
and Ian, going through the lyrics, the key beats and the different emotions I
was looking for at specific points.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then in the
afternoon Illia, the stunt coordinator and I, rehearsed the key moments of the
fight. This time was invaluable and meant that shooting the action on the day went
relatively smoothly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was a real
passion project and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who gave up their time
and talents, both in pre and post-production to help make the video happen.
Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In order to make sure we had great performances but also
great action sequences, we cast a combination of actors, stunts and extras.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We held several casting sessions where we asked all the
actors and stunt men and women to lip-sync small sections of the songs lyrics,
giving us a range of different emotions and facial expressions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finding 50+ year old men who could act, speak English and
basically rap, was obviously a tricky task. (especially In Kyiv) Eventually we
found Igor who had an amazing look, gave great performances and spoke really
good English, because he’d studied acting at a college in America when he was
younger. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, I felt that we hadn’t seen anyone in Kyiv who could
lip-sync the lyrics quite well enough to play Igor’s leading counterpart, so right
at the last minute we asked Kharmel to do a quick casting session back in England.
It was obviously difficult choosing a lead actor merely off the strength of his
casting video but Ian gave a blinding performance and really nailed the lyrics,
despite the super short notice. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Of our 15
leading roles, 7 were actors and 8 were stunts. This felt like the right
balance and </span><span lang="EN-US">Illia L</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">urchyshyn our stunt coordinator brought a lot of his regular stunt
crew to the casting sessions. From this group of people we then chose the stunt
guys who had the best ‘political’ look and gave the most natural performances.
Illia’s crew is pretty tight – in fact his mum is actually the blonde
politician!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The reality is that this idea should have been filmed over
two days, but in music video land you are rarely afforded that luxury, so the
main limitation we faced was time. Therefore we spent a lot of time working out
exactly which shots were (and weren’t needed) to tell the story, and several
versions of the shot list and schedule were written up. We still ended up going
overtime and had to drop some shots on the day but the main decision that had
to be made was more takes, or more shots, so we ended up shooting less and less
takes as the day went on!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The production had a fairly tight turnaround but nothing out
of the ordinary. We scouted locations, casted and prepped for a week. Then flew
straight back to London to edit, sending the label the cut after a week.
Including post the whole process was a little more than 3 weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

by Denis Villeneuve, Renaissance paintings and the film 300. David Procter (the
DP) and I, worked closely together to establish a mature, cinematic aesthetic
that had a level of opulence befitting the political situation we were showing.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think the most complex part of the puzzle was David
working out how to light and shape the large space in a way that could be
quickly moved and altered depending on whether we were filming wide shots or
close-ups.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

rehearsal day where we went through the specific actions and blocking I wanted
to achieve. Illia and his stunt team really smashed it out of the park and made
that part of the process much easier than it could have been! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">I was
concerned that we wouldn’t get all the close-ups of the specific stunts, which
would mean there wouldn’t be enough visual development in the fighting sequence
to keep it engaging throughout. In fact this was my main concern and something
Illia and I worked very hard on. Ensuring that each little moment had enough of
an arc in it’s own right, rather than just one impact moment.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to do a clip after hearing one of her banging tracks on FBI radio. I reached
out to her manager who happens to be Tigerilla (Matthew Khabbaz), and is
responsible for producing her tracks. He had a clip coming up, I dug the song
and pitched an idea based on a loose concept he wanted to explore about a
powerful fragrance called ‘Tulips’ named after the track.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Setting the story in a school came from
Tigerilla. He wanted to create a nostalgic throwback to school dramas where the
uncool kids get the babes. That evolved into what it is now, which is very far
removed from that classic narrative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tigerilla and EMI were really
collaborative and afforded us the freedom and space to do our thing. Belinda
Dean, who produced the clip, and myself were on a commercial at the time and
had to squeeze pre-production on this when we could. Fortunately we were
surrounded with really generous and lovely crew, from Daisy Hicks at i4
Casting, to James Brown the cinematographer. Everyone pitched in, sacrificed
and sweated for no money. A real passion project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Daisy Hicks at i4 helped with casting.
They’re an amazing casting studio at Fox who have collaborated on a lot of my
commercial work. Ethan and Karina were standouts from the sessions and could
hold a straight face. Which is nearly impossible given the awkward dance moves.
It’s hard not to laugh at yourself when you’re gyrating oddly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We just had to be reasonable about
managing expectations. I designed the concept around a restrained performance,
with one or two location moves. It came together really seamlessly for a single
day shoot. We did go overtime and had to compromise some shots but nothing
catastrophic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your insight is spot on, I spend a lot of
my time treating on ads and it can be hard workshopping passion projects into
that schedule. I directed a couple of clips back in the day, around 6-7 years
ago. I pitched on heaps but never managed to score once. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since then my commercial career has grown
and eclipsed the music video opportunities. I had a long hiatus from pitching
on clips after becoming a bit disenfranchised with the game. I found bands a
bit apprehensive of bold ideas, in Australia at least. There’s been a bit of a
resurgence of music videos lately, which is really exciting. Not so much in
budgets, but in ideas currency. Bands are more welcoming of bold and
interesting promo’s that don’t rely on spectacle as much as nuance, and that’s
awesome. So I’m stoked to be pitching on clips again in a genre that isn’t has
heavily governed by committee as commercials.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had known Cat, the lead singer, for quite some time and we had talked
about doing a clip together but nothing really came of it. I contacted
her out of the blue to see if she had any new tracks she was working on. I had
been doing commercial shoots back to back for some time and creatively wanted
to do something more personal and in tune with something darker and more of an
abstract nature. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It all came from hearing the track. The track is all about the loss of
love and wanted to create a series of intimate suburban portraits of characters
who find themselves in a moment of realisation. <u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Crewdson" target="_blank">Gregory Crewdson</a></u> was
certainly an inspiration at the beginning, I’d share his images with the cast
and crew to show what we’re going for in terms of mood but it was all a
starting off point, we’d build off that and create our own moments and our own
characters that worked in line with our concept. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">During the shoot we relied on that concept, and that one line has so
many different interpretations. Each actor who came in was given that one simple
concept and we built upon that, certain ideas were preconceived but most were
really a result of discussions on set, within the space… it was a very
collaborative process with everyone throwing in ideas. If it felt right, we’d
shoot it. We’d build on a moment, try alternatives, it was very instinctual and
fluid. Often we’d shoot continuously, sometimes directing the cast to do
particular actions, other times just letting it go and see what happens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I called in favours from the crew, who are people I often work with on
commercials, and were generous with their time and knew that’d be working on
something that was quite different. When people are offering their time, you
want to make sure the work they’re a part of is worth their while. I am very
selective with the people I choose to work, people who I know will bring a lot
to the table creatively. I trust their input and I try to create an environment
on set that allows an open dialogue. We were conscious to keep things very
instinctual on the shoot, to keep ideas new and to not reference anything in
particular or to repeat ourselves. The cast would arrive at different times and
we’d just move from room to room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We put out a call for actors who might be interested,
actors I had already worked with and people recommended to me. Victoria put out
a call too to see who would be interested. We were conscious to have diversity
amongst the cast but mostly anyone with an interesting presence about them. Before
coming onboard, I discussed the concept with them and showed them examples of
mood and made sure they were comfortable with what we were going for, something
darker in tone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had a few initial ideas on who might be doing what on screen, once
they were in wardrobe and in the space, we’d find a prop for them to work with
and just talked about possible actions and reactions. The lighting and ambience
played a big part in creating the atmosphere and that helped get everyone into
the right mood, even if the emotion itself was still developing. It all stemmed
from instinct.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Originally I wanted to have a variety of suburban locations, locations
that had a similar feel but noticeably different. The logistics of moving
around and the amount of days required was just too much to ask. Then through
some favours from a location manager, I was presented with one house that had
so many layers and character in each room that we could go for that same
feeling, yet still felt intimate. It allowed us to maintain everything in the
one location. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everything was shot in one day. Editing took some time since I was
fitting it in-between other jobs but it also allowed us to step away from it
for a bit and revisit. The band were still finishing their album so time wasn't a

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hugh Marchant was our art director who I’ve worked with many times. He
has a great understanding of how an environment creates a certain mood and
giving our cast tangible items that help bring out certain actions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jesse Moyes was both the gaffer and movi operator. Once again in tune
with creating a certain feeling and atmosphere that felt right for each
character. For certain shots, we had the mimic feature on the movi. I’d rig it
onto a fluid head and I could operate pans and tilts, more keeping an eye on
framing while Jesse focused on the movement. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elizabeth Taylor was costume. She had brought a lot of her own items.
Our cast also brought a lot of their own clothing and together with Elizabeth
they’d talk about which pieces provoked a certain emotion. They’d present me
with options and we’d go from there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Victoria Thaine and Thuy Vy helped with certain portraits. Often cast
were overlapping and I’d work in one room and move onto another while Thuy
continued to shoot alternative options and sometimes Victoria and Thuy built
moments together where they’d run by me. Their instincts were spot on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rocky Amaranto was the editor. The edit was more laying these portraits
and building small arcs in what’s withheld and when to reveal moments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Colourist Martin Greer also added more depth in the visuals. I had
approached the cinematography on set to be very close to what you see in terms
of colours and tone… once again it was all about an atmosphere and creating a
certain feeling, the grade was more keeping in line with that but enhancing
certain details. The key was to not do too much otherwise we had lost that
feeling. Martin had a few little things up his sleeve that really brought an
extra layer and depth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The band were very receptive to the concept. We knew we’d want to say certain
things in regards to representation of same-sex couples and characters that had
more depth. Once we all felt like we were on the same page, they’d let me move
forward creatively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">My
idea was inspired by 80's and 90's genre movies, and seedy European crime films
like the Pusher trilogy and Rise of The Foot Soldier. Films such a Blade, The
Toxic Avenger, The Terminator and Only God Forgives also have an influence on a
subconscious level. I really just wanted to make the best action film I could
with the limited resources I had. </span></div>

different to what you may have expected. The best thrill is arriving at the
finale and having your mind blown by something crazy or preposterous. I hope I
achieved that on some level.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was the turnaround?</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The
turnaround was tight. I was in London when I received approval on the
treatment. I had presented to treatment to Dim Mak as they asked me to submit a treatment. A week later we were shooting the video. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I had an amazing producer Yingna Lu, who came onboard with my vision and helped me to facilitate it in an
insanely short amount of time. I think the adrenaline rush that comes from a
short turnaround allows you to make instinctual decisions that you might
hesitate to make with more time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Location
scouting is always the most important element in maximising the budget. We shot
at the Dreamgirl's Strip club and Candy's Apartment nightclub both in Kings
Cross. They kindly helped us out with these awesome, gritty locations, which can't
be replicated through set design. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">My
key collaborator is an amazing DOP by the name of Kieran Fowler, we have shot
two clips before (We Are The Brave "Your Ghost" won an ACS Gold award
last year) and every time we work together we like to create something unique,
unusual and push the boundaries of what people expect. Kieran and I devour
music videos and are always sharing our likes and dislikes, disseminating the
whole music video format on a whole. We'd like to think we are making something
cool that people enjoy watching but at the end of the day we are making videos
that we enjoy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">My
make-up artist Julie Tattam is Australia's best body painter and she is also a
super talented special make up FX artist adept in prosthetics. This was the
first time we did prosthetics together to create something dark, gory and
violent. She nailed the brief and delivered above and beyond my expectation. You'll
laugh if she told you what the secret ingredient of her make up was… Weet Bix
was one of the ingredients. An absolute genius idea. Hope she doesn't kill me
for that one!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-weight: normal;">Lou Stefenal from PyromanixFX did our car explosion stunt. I was impressed by his professionalism and his glint of madness as he rigged this poor old car with a thousand gas lines and fire gels and then proceeded to blow it sky high. Great work from his team and the production crew loved the fireworks display… everyone loves fire!</span></b><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The
editing structure was designed to be relentless like the music, not allowing
you to stop for breath. The aim was to be a roller coater ride and induce a
feeling of unease and tension. I love the clips build into the climax and the
editing gets crazier and more erratic as we go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Brad
Hurt used a lot of strobing effects in time with the music, which help to build
the sense of aggression and mental anguish of the main character after he finds
his girlfriend dead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

is an amazing editor and it was the first time we worked together but will be
the start of a very strong collaboration moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Ty
Douglas Linegar, who plays the main character is a good friend of mine. He has
a great unique look and can play a strong, menacing character when required. He
has worked as a security guard so has experience dealing with confrontations of
the physical kind. This kind of physicality can't be taught plus he brings a
strong emotional performance as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">At
his core his has a sensitive heart and can understand how to emote
authentically and he is completely believable in this role. I was looking for
the right project to show off his abilities and this was it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The
bad guys were mostly non-actors but I cast them for their look and feel rather
then their acting ability. My aim was to find tough look Eastern European guys
and then I was able to draw from them what I needed in terms of performance.
Mario Ikasovic, who plays the mob boss is actually the father of the girlfriend
(Tatiana Ikasovic) who is murdered in the video. He has a Croatian background and
I cast him because of his visual look and imposing figure. This helped to sell
the idea that this was an Eastern European gang and give the clip a more
international feel.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tatiana, who's plays the girlfriend character is an amazing young actress who has trained formally in New York. Although she only has a small role in this video she is incredibly believable.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I
have directed one fight scene before without a fight co-ordinator and it was
pretty disorganized and unplanned. This time I collaborated wtih an amazing
fight choreographer and stunt-cordinator called Igor Breakenback. We rehearsed
and filmed the fight so that we were completely prepared on the day and
everything ran seamlessly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">They
were all over the moon and only asked for one slight change to the credit
sequence… that’s a rare thing! The label were pretty hands off with the
creative and I was allowed full creative control over my vision. In the end,
that’s how the best work gets made, when you're ideas aren't compromised by a
committee of know-it-all’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my vision to the best of my ability with the time, money and team I had with
me. I'm proud of my achievement with this and wouldn't change much… The video
has just been Staff Picked by Vimeo so I think I did something right and people
are asking for a sequel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
It wasn't through the normal channels because I already knew Verkeren before we
made this video. In a matter of fact, the singer has a good relationship with CANADA
and myself. We had already talked about making a video for them so, in this
case, it was quite personal.<br />
<br /><br /><b>
What inspired you on your idea for the video?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
The band gave me creative freedom so I had to create an idea for myself from
the beginning. I thought that this video had to be kind of a declaration of
intentions for the band, so it needed to transmit their essence. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just to get an
idea, the band is formed by a group of crazy thirty somethings who you cannot
stop laughing with. They're making jokes all the time and even one of them
rules a very successful Youtube comedy channel. For me it was obvious that this
video had to be fun and since I enjoy telling narrative stories (especially the
ones involving teenagers) it had to be a weird-moustache-teenager-romantic-dancing-comedy.
It just couldn't be any other way.</span></span><br />

What was the budget?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
I don't remember, but it was VERY SMALL.<br />
<br /><br /><b>
Tell us about the production process?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
For me the actors go first. They are the most important part of the video. So
once we began with the pre production, the casting was the first thing to start
with. The girl, Kimberley Tell was easy. I had already had my eye on her previously
so I knew it had to be her, but it got really hard to find the proper actor for
the male role. We casted 50 people and finally we met David Anguera, who's a
really talented actor and performer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The book colours on the shelves are a
really nice touch. Were all those books sourced from the library you shot in?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Some books were taken from the library and some others were brought on the set
by the art director. Anyways, most of the books were regular books covered in
red or blue (the main background colours) using different materials.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The dancing seems very loose and fun. Was
there much choreography with the lead actor, did he improvise much?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
This choreography was created in an unconventional way. The choreographers,
David and I met in the CANADA office. There we played the song very loud and we
all started making these weird dancing movements and saw what made us laugh. I
remember that it was a hilarious day at the office. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The choreographers had
already thought of some dance movements for the song, but David was so creative
and funny that we had to take advantage of that. We wanted to have a natural
and improvised choreography, so I recorded ourselves dancing with a video camera
in order to get the spontaneity of the moment and then I edited a video with
the best moves. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With this material, the choreographers created the final dance.
In other words, the choreography was based on an improvised dance, but we knew
exactly what we were going to do in the shooting.<br />
<br />
<br /><b>
What were the limitations you faced with the production?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
The production process was very difficult because of the low budget. That
affected the video in different ways. For instance, we couldn't afford the
library we wanted so we had to spend a lot of time searching a good location
that fitted in the budget. We also had to adapt the shooting to a one-day-shoot
instead of a necessary two-day-shoot. We shot nearly 24 hours in one day and we
had to remove some shots that we had no time to do. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
The crew was fantastic and I have to thank their effort, because it is thanks
to them that we were able to shoot this music video. They were very passionate
and I believe they liked what we were doing, so they made things really easy
for me.</span></span><br />

What was the turnaround?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
It was 3 weeks from production to completion. The real turnaround was the one
established by the budget. The longer we spend shooting, editing or post producing,
the more expensive it got.<br />
<br /><br /><b>
Who were your key collaborators? </b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
My key collaborators were Alberto Bañares (DOP), Carla Moreno (Art Dept),
Txesma Lasa (AD), Vicki Viñas (Stylist), Ana Cano (Makeup), Carlos Font
(Editor), Blanca Ballesté (PM) Brendan Golden (Sound), Tuixén Benet and Angela
Boix (Choreographer)<br />
<br /><br /><b>
Have you worked with any of them before?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
I had worked with all of them before except for Alberto Bañares (DOP) and Carla
Moreno (Art), who was the first time I worked with them.<br />
<br /><br /><b>
What did you shoot on? What lenses did you use?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
We shot on the Arri Alexa and used the Zeiss Superspeeds lenses.<br />
<br /><br /><b>
How involved were the band and label?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
In this case it was very easy to work with both label and band. The label gave
us 100% freedom to do whatever we wanted. I think we were also very lucky to
have Verkeren as clients because they understood the difficulty and
ambitiousness of the project and helped us in everything they could. They even
were PA or runners when needed!<br />

If you had a chance to approach it again, what would you do differently?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I’ve been
really good friends of the Clipping. guys for many years now, and have worked
with them as a group and also individually in many different collaborative
capacities. Currently, Jonathan (of Clipping.) is actually the composer and
sound designer for the feature film I have in post-production.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When
their album was nearing completion, the guys in Clipping. sent it over and
asked me if I was interested in doing one of the videos. They gave me free
reign to pick out what jumped out to me, and of course it was “Body & Blood”
immediately. It happened that that was a single they were leaning on, so it
worked out great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Because
Clipping. and myself are generally on the same wavelength, there wasn’t a lot
of highly specific direction given for the final result. Originally there was a
very particular idea for a video that revolved around something much more
abstract than what we ended up with - super-slow-motion CUs of extreme BDSM,
and this idea of genderless flesh - “equal-opportunity exploitation.” When we
got around to making the video, I took these initial ideas and shook it up with
some other thematics and aesthetics I was interested in exploring that seemed
appropriate… and, well, you see the final result!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Music
videos are the short form I think is the most expansive and free for playing
with narrative structure, something I’m very interested in. It’s very important
to me that all of the visuals and their juxtaposition connect to core ideas and
have an inevitable purpose. Whether independently or in-conjunction of what’s
happening with the song. The problem I feel with a lot of music videos these
days is that it becomes a lot of “throwing at the wall and seeing what sticks,”
and, in turn, creating ever more outrageous (whether violent, sexual, playful)
imagery that doesn’t have much to say on its own, least of all relate to what’s
going on with the music. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">And
that’s where it all begins for me, what stories the song is speaking to me and
how I can viscerally recreate those onscreen in my own way. I don’t like
talking too much directly about the thematics of a completed work. The audience
projection and their individual perspectives derived are of more interest to
me, but suffice it to say, one of the principal questions I had for myself was;
how do you make an exploitative, voyeuristic piece ABOUT exploitation and
voyeurism? As is the case with previous projects I’ve done, and similar
questions I’ve posed myself, it’s about removing the anticipatory elements. Blood,
physical violence, a salacious use of sexual elements and letting the audience’s
minds fill in the blanks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Of
course, how the final result is ended up with can be a bit convoluted (to
explain). The way I generally like working, particularly on these smaller
projects, is kind-of akin to action painting. I pick out all the specific
paints - performers, images, props, what have you - and then, in the shooting,
its just allowing these elements to combustively ignite and seeing what
direction that story leads. I know I have the right elements, and each of these
contains a seed of a narrative thread. But how they work together, I have no
idea until I put it together in the editing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Very low
key. We shot for 4 days with a crew essentially of myself and 3 - 4 others,
depending on the day (not including the performers), predominantly using green-screen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">It would
be really easy here to say (and I’m sure many people do) money, time and crew.
But, honestly, this is a weak excuse. Would the video have been any better with
more money and a larger team to execute it? I don’t necessarily think so. I’ve
found, one can actually experiment a lot more and get a lot more material the
smaller the machine is. The small collaborative team involved in this project
was there because they believed in and were excited by the project, not because
of a “job” per se’. While each person has to pick up more weight, I can
personally say I probably had a lot more “fun” doing this than I’ve had on
projects that involve a higher budget and/or larger crew. The percentage is
weighted more towards play than problem solving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Essentially
one month. I shot the band first over a night and then all the other material
was done over a 3-day weekend a few weeks later. I did all the post myself
directly inside Premiere Pro CC, the comping, split screens, colour correct,
everything. Though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that kind of workflow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Who were
your key collaborators?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">My
director-of-photography was Trevor Baker, who I’ve worked with on a ton of
projects over the past few years, from video art pieces to an experimental
documentary we shot in South Sudan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">My producing assistant on this was Simona
Kessler, a young woman who’s been very quickly establishing herself as a strong
producing force. She’s been involved in a many projects I’ve done over the past
two years, most recently as a Co-Producer on the feature I directed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
excellent makeup artist Jutamard Kobkijtanaruang was an intern on that feature
and did an amazing job here with a budget of exactly $0.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">What did
you shoot on? What lenses did you use?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">We shot
on the Canon 5D Mark 2 and the Sony FS700. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The FS700
was chosen because it was the cheapest we could find that would allow us to
shoot very high frame-rates. Most of the video was shot at 120 or 240fps.
Recording on a regular flash-card with that camera, which is what we had to do,
you only get 8-16 second bursts at such framerates. So that was a bit of a
trick!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">In terms
of lenses, we did a bit with a 50 and 85mm, but most was actually shot with a
180mm macro lens!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">How
involved were the band and label?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As you
can see from some of my answers to previous questions, both Clipping. and
SubPop gave me complete creative freedom and were nothing but fluid and
supportive through the entire process. I’m pretty darn sure that’s a rare
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Tell us about the casting
and the performers.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 5.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The casting was a
combination of people I or my other producer, Simona Kessler knew. And also
through an open casting call I put out. In casting, I’m always looking for
particular individuals that are unique and or interest me and then I in part
shape the role around them, versus trying to shoehorn specific types into
roles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Were there challenges
working with nudity at all?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">None whatsoever. It was
very clear in the casting that it was going to be full nudes and I was very clear
about the intents and purposes of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Where did you shoot it?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">We shot
at Highways Performance Space, where I have worked for the last decade or so.
I’m very familiar with this space and have shot in here many times
before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">If you
had a chance to approach it again, what would you do differently?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Everything
probably! Though the least helpful part for me of the creative and production
process is looking back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial";">Didn't know about
his work. It has a very similar vibe actually. The painter that was a big
influence was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_Rauch" target="_blank">Neo Rauch</a>. Not much in the look, but in the tone and the absurd
functionality of the character's actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial";">The brief was
quite open, but they mentioned things like "tecnoparanoia" and sent a
few references from artist's that I really like, like Ryan Trecartin. I
gathered from their brief that they were looking for something slightly
dystopian. But without the usual ominous morals, so I offered them the idea of
a colourful simplified world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial";">As in most of

working days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial";">I'm still
surprised we managed to pull everything together. We needed to find a lot of
locations with a very specific look, a cast of 18 people, make the entire
wardrobe... And it was the week before Christmas. We actually shot it on
the 22nd of December.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in Madrid, where I grew up. Ten years ago, during the housing bubble, they built
a lot of new areas in the outskirts of the city. But they ran out of money they
couldn't build the subway, schools etc, as they promised so the areas ended up
half empty and half finished. Now there are just a bunch of big buildings
standing in the middle of nowhere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial";">There was a lot
of compositing. Every single exterior shot has been retouched. And also a lot
of work was put on deleting everything from the streets (cars, people, road

there would be more time for pre-production in music videos, but that is how
the industry works. In any case Annie Clarke, the artist, and Adam Farrel, from
the label, were fully involved in the process and made wise comments all the

were very lucky. All the things that could, had gone wrong - and there were a
lot of them - nothing did go wrong. There are obviously some little details here
and there that I could had changed, but only small stuff. The kind of things
that used to bother me as I finished the video, but that I don't notice

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;">Chris Ward (the artist behind Tropics) approached me after seeing a
video I had directed, ‘Opening Brace’ by My Panda Shall Fly & Adventure
Elephant. He liked my approach and specifically wanted me to work on the video
for his forthcoming EP. Naturally I was like OK, as he’s an incredible artist.
He sent me some music, and we’re now good friends.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;">I’ve always loved exploring ideas that feel removed from reality, yet at
the same time present fully real emotions. It’s something abstract in
conception that I kind of broke down and grounded within a world I felt matched
the tone of the song. I would go through asking Chris a lot about the tack, in
terms of where it stood for him. One of the key things I asked was “If you
could attribute one emotion to the song, what would it be” and from there we
came up with the idea of having a really slow pace.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;">The production process was pretty similar to any promo, once the

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The budget was tough, we really had to make things work especially as we
had time and money against us. Casting is sometimes the worst process,
especially in promos, as you never really get the time to have proper casting
sessions. We were blessed when we found the actors we did. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a;">Amy (the Madame) was a wildcard, a last minute miracle. Also Richard,
who is the man in the brothel with the Hawaiian shirt, I found him in a pub,
sad, upset and crying. He looked amazing, kind of like a British Ron Jeremy... I
</span><span lang="EN-US">thought
I’d give it a go and ask him if he wanted to be in a video, even though he
seemed pretty emotionally upset. It turned out it kind of made his day, and so
off we went. You don’t ask, you don’t get.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The location was another happy accident. We were looking for something
removed from modern design and fashions. I've always tried to build an
aesthetic from the ground up, in a way shaping the video around locations that
seem only real within the world of the piece. After some further searching, to
my surprise the location is a street away from where I live. It was perfect, an
untouched and dated suburban house that represented a darker time in British
home decor...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The
turnaround was pretty quick, say two weeks. The shoot itself was one day. It
needed to be out too premiere on Majestic Casual by the end of June, and I was
supposed to be out of London and in L.A. by mid June. We managed to
get Chris (Tropics) to shoot at an earlier date, so that made things a little
easier.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

production special for us. I am indebted to my DOP, Rob White, or should I
say in debt. He has always been able to take what I have in my head, and make
it translate to an accurate inch of what I imagined onscreen. It’s quite an
innate process, and he’s bloody good. Amongst him, we have an incredible team
at COMPULSORY and they always go the extra mile to realize any project that
comes through the door.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>How were you approached for the job?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm good friends with the band and have worked
with them a few times before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They had a long list of people they were
approaching about curating the entire marketing campaign of the album. I was
one of the names on the list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We chatted about a number of ideas over lunch,
got excited about the prospects of the collaboration and it went from
there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What inspired you on your idea for the video?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Firstly, the 'Free Your Mind' song itself.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The vibe of the track at almost 6 minutes long made me instantly think I had room to breath in terms of creating a more character driven narrative that blended elements of comedy and drama.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had a few ideas along these lines but the idea
of the cult seemed to fit most naturally with the themes of the song.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From there I researched cults in general… The
Source Family, The Family, The Manson Family, Heaven's Gate, the NBA...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few films stood out for me at the time, 'The
Idiots', 'Excalibur' and Cronenberg's Canadian made films. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's probably an endless list of things that
inspired this video... including my own life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What do you love about the film 'Excalibur'? I
remember when I first saw that film as a child, It completely blew my
mind. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">John Boorman has made a bunch of great films…
Deliverance, Zardoz, The Emerald Forest, etc…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Excalibur is a far more dirty, violent, sexual and
psychedelic version of the Arthur story then you would initially expect. It
blew my mind as a kid too... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The script itself is a great reference for the
struggle to maintain power and leadership, the corruption / perversion of that
power and the psychological torments of an adulterous love triangle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What was the budget?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can always do with more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Tell us about the production process?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Originally we were going to shoot in Australia.
We had a location, casting, crew all organised for a shoot just outside of
Melbourne. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then Alexander Skarsgard was suddenly on board
as the lead actor and I had to relocate to LA as he was only available to shoot
for a limited time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once I got to LA I started all over again,
briefing a new DP, production designer and wardrobe person etc… a day of
casting to pick the right combination of cult members.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Picking out a wig and fitting it with Alexander
whilst we discussed his character and wardrobe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alexander was a total professional, we discussed
every aspect of the character and his back story, including whether the cult
leader would be a briefs or boxer shorts type of person. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We spent a lot of time searching for the perfect
location as I had written something very specific into my treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From there I went through my script with the DP,
production designer and 1st AD to block out the scenes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I put together a precise shot list with the
1st AD… I had a few extra scenes that I knew I could cut without compromising
the narrative (which I did cut). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, a long but enjoyable 14 hour shoot day,
followed by Ten Pin bowling and cocktails. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Did you have a notable Australian actor originally
cast as the Cult leader?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No, but I did have some very good actors lined up for
casting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A director friend of mine had also offered to
favourably mention it to Ben Mendelsohn and David Wenham as he had worked with
them before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Both would be great to work with but I'm not sure if
they would have been into it. Although, I can really see Ben Mendelsohn
playing some sort of cult leader and I've always thought it would be amazing to
work with him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alexander was perfect and once I started to think of
him for the part I couldn't imagine anyone else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What were the limitations you faced with the
production?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The same limitations everyone has with
production: Time and money. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, I always try to design my projects from
the start to fit within those pre-determined limitations so that hopefully
their effect on the final outcome is minimal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No. They were all new to me but most of the crew
had all worked together a lot before which I think helped in making the
production run like a well-oiled machine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Are there differences between Australian and American
film crews?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Technically speaking no, except that music videos are
seen as more of a legitimate format in the US. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unlike Australia, there is an actual infrastructure
for music videos there with production companies, commissioners, agents and
festivals / awards devoted to the art form. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some people basically make their living solely from music
videos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For these reasons it is easier to get much more
professional crews devoted to your project. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is not the same in Australia, where music videos
run on the smell of an oily rag, with many begged favours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of the music videos I've done in Australia, Ive
acted as producer, director, production designer and completed the editing and
effects. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've worked with some great crews in both countries
and in the end the difference between crews probably comes down to budget and
personal contacts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On a ranch about 45min out of LA. They grow chillies,
corn and oranges there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes. It was easier to work that way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I edited with Hank Friedmann in LA and Varnish
completed the online and color grade. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The band were heavily involved in the beginning
but once they were happy with my final treatment they basically left me to my
own devices. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cut Copy's management (Punk Da Funk) were really
supportive and were crucial in making this possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't think I could have done it differently
and got a better result under the circumstances. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, if I had more money, 2 days shooting
would have been nice. It would have allowed me to explore some of the scenes in
more depth and shoot some extra ones… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but then the video possibly would have ended up
being 10 minutes long. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If there was no time limit on pre-production,
I'd ask Alexander to stop exercising and put him on a strict diet of only beer
and hamburgers for 6 months so that he developed a pot belly before we
shot. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Your Love”, immediately this image you now see in my video came into my mind. I

the lead part and I’m glad that Kasia Smolinska said ‘yes’ to the project. I’m

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Conrad
Lloyd and Josh Kellet from Universal got in touch and asked me to submit a

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
started off wanting to work with the whole concept of relaxation, and all the
strange and absurd things that people do in order to achieve it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This
led me to research new age groups of the 1970's and their bizarre combinations
of science, spirituality and psychology that they had going on back then. Naturally,
this led me to invent my own weird little sect. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There
were a few. The Raelian's: who are big into their UFO's and study things like
human cloning and 'Sensual Meditation'. There was also a book published in the
70's called 'The Secret Life Of Plants' which had all sorts of strange
psudeo-scientific spiritual stuff in it, such people connecting electrodes to
ferns and communicating with them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is
it ok to omit this question? Only reason why, is that this was a passion
project for me, budget was pretty average but I liked the song so I pulled a
bunch of favours to get it done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
started with the concept of 4 distinct scenes going on in the commune,
including a fake band performance. Using this as our foundation, I worked
closely with the DP and Art Director too bring each area it to life in it's own
way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The

perfect, from the colour pallet to the authentic furniture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">The manager of The Preatures, Andy Cassell, approached me to do the
video. I had directed their previous video 'Is This How You Feel' and it was a
good experience for all involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">It was actually Andy who came up with the concept. He spent his younger
years watching Hot Gossip and really wanted to do something like that. He sent
me a bunch of videos and basically said lets do this. So we went from there,
wanting to achieve a modern clip with an early 80s feel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Well we didn't actually get the budget approved until 3 days before the
shoot, so it was all pretty frantic. Organising dancers, a choreographer, a
location and production elements in three days was a big ask, but we managed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">We shot for one day in a studio, shooting the band stuff in the morning
and then all the dancing after that. The dancers were learning the choreography
while we were shooting the band, and I'd go and check it out between shots.
Then we had about 3 days editing, one day adding the effects and another day of
rendering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">It was a lot longer than expected. I left to go to Europe the day after
the shoot, which was partly why we only had three days of pre production. I was
planning on leaving it with the editor and directing remotely, but that became
too difficult so we left it till I was back, and then it took 4 days to
complete I think. So including the time overseas it was about three weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and Apple Sampho did a fantastic job with the costumes. Sam Bryant did an
awesome job with the edit and Andy Cassell was a great help during the
conceptual stage. It was a real pleasure working with our choreographer Jasmin
Forbes-Watson and the dancers. It was also a great experience working with The
Preatures again. I hope we do more stuff together in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also one more thing that was challenging was the fact that I produced this clip as well. It just meant I had a lot to do in a short amount of time and its probably not the ideal way of doing things, but I had to make the budget last and there just wasn't enough money to bring on a producer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">I think there were varying levels of understanding about the production
process. I would say it was very difficult to argue for the extra budget needed
to make this video in an equitable way. I don’t want people to work for nothing
and with the original budget of $8K this was the only way it was going to get
made. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

spend more time on choreography and casting. I think we could have done with

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Midnight Juggernauts
had taken time out for a little while, juggling other projects and the like. We
wanted to have a strange return through something absurd, and have fun with it.
We planned to create a secret video anonymously, disguised as an unknown act
from the '70s or '80s. Having an interest in Eastern Bloc and Soviet histories
we thought it could be intriguing to pose as a Soviet Pop band from 30 years
past. It would seem like the discovery of a long lost act, long hidden behind
the Iron Curtain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The video
would have no association with Midnight Juggernauts, so we wanted to
see how long this Soviet pretence could remain before people realised it was
us. This pretend band was posted widely and it was interesting to watch its
response.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Around
$4000. Although most of that was used in Russia. We relied on friends doing us
favours. Also the video was only possible as we were offered to play a show in
Moscow, which paid for us to fly to Russia. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We should say thanks to the good
people at Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design in Moscow. We
also had to buy some soldiers uniforms, which we still wear sometimes if the
mood is right. Also money went into using a hell of a lot of props. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Tell us about the production process?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Much of the
Production involved us dancing around the streets of Moscow dressed as
Soldiers. We basically roamed the city for a few days and upon seeing
interesting sites we'd sit the camera on a tripod and dance in front of it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It
was strange at first but there were quite a few military men on the streets so
perhaps we blended in. Maybe people thought we were some army band. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Afterwards
there was more dancing in front of shipping containers at a theatre company
warehouse. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Rather than paying to hire individual props, we negotiated to pay
for 2 days where we could use every prop available. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /><b>
What were the limitations you faced with the production?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Lack of
budget was a major limitation but we did what we could. Plus a lot of friends
helped out because they were nice people. In Russia we were able to film scenes
amongst military aircraft after our Russian friend slipped the security guy
some dollars. That day was a lot of fun. Felt like we were kids in a
playground, jumping in and out of Mig Jet fighters and military choppers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /><b>
What was the turnaround?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It was
pretty relaxed. We shot the first scenes in Russia then finished it off in
Melbourne. There were around 5 days of shooting and then an assembly edit over
a weekend. Then we finished some other post-production on and off whenever
people were available. Pretty much working on favours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Then once it
was finished we had a few weeks to circulate different versions of it across
the net. Some Russian friends helped us post them across various Russian
websites, message boards and blogs. Once it gained traction, we then pushed it
further afield where it gained its own life. There’s still multiple versions of
it floating about online which aren't attributed
to Midnight Juggernauts. I love that it continues living this other
secret life across the Internet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Quite a few
friends helped us. Talented champion type people like Alex Cardy, Anita
Spooner, Zephyr Marama, and Leonid Gorenshteyn whom we met in Russia and
followed us with a camera. Plus Marina from Moscow who kept us out of trouble. Plus
we got some advice from a friend, Romain Gavras on shooting in Russia. We
really didn't know what to expect there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Plus on the tail end in Melbourne
Chris Tomkins worked some Post Production sorcery, such as removing modern
buildings from the background and replacing them with sky! Plus Ellen, Lexi,
Daisy and others I'm sure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Mostly no,
we were just friends. Most people were involved through favours so I'm likely
to be helping out on their next productions cooking food for their crew. I can
make good egg-nog for wrap parties. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It was all
pretty ghetto. We did a lot on a cheap handycam. Then did more pick-ups on a
5D. I did an assembly edit on Final Cut then Chris played with it in Davinci.
Lastly it was exported out onto a VHS tape deck and then imported back into the
digital realm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">There’s now
also 2 ratio versions of the clip. One is an old-school degraded 4:3 Soviet
broadcast version which begins within a Russian TV program, and the other is a
more broadcast friendly 16:9 version without the intro or VHS
degradation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I probably
wouldn't have posted the video onto those body building forums. Those guys give
really rude criticism. Also I wish we had more time to shoot more scenes in
Moscow. Russia is such an interesting and inspiring place, and we met a lot of
artists there doing great things. We'd love to return and do a normal video
there someday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

loved the hooks and beats on this track and wanted to make the most out of

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
song had been out for about a month and the label wanted the clips (the radio
edit and a remix version) as soon as possible, so the turnaround was
tight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
supplied the treatment to the label and when that got approved I got Sally
Mulligan on board as a producer, and we started location scouting. The location
was a key element and we wanted an old rundown hotel room that was large enough
to host a large group. An eerie space with a sense of timeless past. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
had a look at a few options including the former Ritz Carlton Hotel and knew
that we had to shoot it there. It was such a special place. A fully abandoned 5
star, 5 storey hotel that had it's glory days in the 80/90's was just perfect
for this. After lengthy negotiations with the security company we managed to
spend a big chunk of our budget and lock in the location. During that
process we booked our DOP Kieran Fowler and the rest of the crew. We continued
to refine the script and shortlist until shoot day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

up we had 2 weeks in pre-production and managed to pack all shots into one

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was a major team effort and we had a fantastic crew
helping out to fit all the shots into one day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The main collaborators were Sally Mulligan who
produced the clip and the DOP Kieran Fowler. I've been Kieran's fan for a while
and it was great having him on board. We were able to lock in Kieran's
choice gaffer Finbarr Collins who did a fantastic job on lighting the rooms and
cast, and a great person to have on set. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We did a pre-light the night
before which helped immensely in being able to fit the shoot into one day.
Claire Madiot was the 1st AD and was across all the shots on the day, keeping
an eye on cast and the schedule. Richard Dobson was the 1st Camera Assistant
and we had a great bunch of talented AFTRS students Jordan-Rhys Jenkins, Nick
Forster, Chris Elder as additional camera assistants. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pete Davies was the Art
Director. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Donna Burgess looked after wardrobe. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Emma Bartik and Lilah Deguitre

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
shot on the Red Epic and used vintage Zeiss 1.3 Distagon prime lenses<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sally Mulligan did a fantastic job in organising the
cast. We did a casting callout through social media including Andy Bulls
Facebook and Sally used online casting sites like Star Now and blogs like Pedestrian. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Andy

ambitious. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All
parties involved were great to work with throughout the process. Everyone had
initial ideas and visions on where this should go, and they all made sense and
gave me some direction for the treatment. Once the treatment was approved, I
had full creative freedom. I kept everyone in the loop on how things were going
and bounced off ideas with Andy a few times to make sure that we were all on
the same page. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everyone
was happy how everything turned out, which made things a lot easier towards the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
was very happy with the results. I mean there were a few shots I wish I shot
differently and a few shots were rushed, but this was a massive learning curve
for me and each decision and step along the way was part of that.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
I had done a string of pop videos for Sony in the past 5 months in the hope
that eventually a track would come along that I could do something incredibly
creative with a major label. Obviously indie music gives you more freedom
creatively and you can take some risks but the budgets are always
heartbreakingly low. I was originally approached to re-shoot a video for Andrew
De Silva's previous single 'Your Paradise', even going so far as to put forward
a treatment. My idea was too dark for them but ultimately the single was
changed anyway. 'Miracle' came along and it was perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What inspired you on your
idea for the video?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Really, it came from discussions with the label. We knew the video had to be
narrative and that it had to be about a child. But the question was how literal
they wanted to go. I was leaning toward a story that contrasted with the lyrics
and was emotionally confronting but had an uplifting payoff. Andrew wanted a
literal representation of the lyrics. In the end we found an equilibrium. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was able to construct a
short film narrative that followed a kid who has grown up in an underprivileged
family and dreams of being a break-dancer. The literal references to the lyrics
would all be played out in his imagination; i.e. the money tree, receiving a
bracelet from the girl he doesn't have the guts to approach. Collectively, we
wanted to tell a story about hope and about what it means to have a dream. The
song is also about how one generation passes its gifts to the next, and that
was where the magic shoes came from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Our budget was 25k. However, Sony were excited about us shooting on the F65
camera and making this the first music clip finished in 4K in this country so
they were able to provide us with the camera kit outside of our budget. This
helped immensely as with a 3-day shoot as 25k doesn't stretch very far.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

After treatment was approved we had several discussions with the label about
their hopes and expectations for the video. We then began the immense task of
finding the 4 or 5 locations that we would need over the course of three days.
I brought on board a young cinematographer, Kieran Fowler and we began
subscribing a look to the video. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The most monumental task
however was casting. We needed to find a boy who had the perfect balance of
acting ability and dance skill, and he had to have a strong presence. We looked
at a dozen or so kids and Seven Martinez immediately stuck out. We cast him on
a whim, because we couldn't tell in his audition whether he would be
cooperative or not. But what I didn't know until later was that he is just an
incredibly focused and determined little kid. He was actually auditioning me to
see if he could trust me. And after we developed a bit of camaraderie, he
brought a lot of commitment and dedication to the shoot. Not to mention he's an
amazing dancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What were the limitations
you faced with the production?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Our limitations were mainly time-related. The budget was tight but certainly
achievable because we were working with a crew who bent over backwards to help
us out. I thought working with large groups of children would be difficult but
they were so good. They really listened to myself and the crew. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finding a housing
commission location to shoot in was particularly challenging, as there is a
massive bureaucratic nightmare around getting permission. So we ended up doing
letter drops and asking individuals if we could shoot in their apartment in
exchange for a couple weeks rent. Only one person got back to us but that
turned out perfect in the end. It was a shoebox to work in but it made the
story real.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
We had about two weeks of pre-production and three days of shooting.
Post-production took a lot longer than expected because of the 4K delivery and
admittedly we weren't prepared for all the technical complexities that that
involved. So we delivered late. But the label was ultimately happy, and so was
Andrew.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial";">The issues we faced with 4K post-pipeline were
mainly related to budget. We needed access to a very high-end suite that could
handle the massive amounts of data associated with 4K files in real-time. That
proved to be a slightly more expensive process than initially expected.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kieran Fowler is a DP from New Zealand whom I'd worked with on some viral
stuff. I really liked his film work and I wanted to give this video a really
cinematic texture. I wanted it to feel very loose and real and at the same time
have a dreamlike quality. Kieran understood this and brought a keen eye to each
scene. I also worked with Dave Marriot, who is a brilliant production designer.
He understood the story and brought that to his set dressing. </span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The producers I
worked with, Adam Dostalek and Ciaran Jordan are highly experienced in other
departments; they've worked on big films before, but as producers this was all
fairly new to them. They rose to the occasion despite all the hurdles and
managed to make a logistically tough production work. I enjoy giving new talent
a chance to shine and I think the best way to do that is to throw them in the
deep end. Editor Daniel Berghofer was also new to the major label music video
world but he handled the pressures quite well and responded to edit notes in
creative ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I've worked with all of them in some capacity on previous music videos, virals,
commercials or short film jobs. I'm particularly loyal to my collaborators.
Maybe it’s out of a sense of comfort and security but I find it easier to work
with people who understand your vision. This was the first major music video I
have done without my usual Cinematographer, Carl Robertson so it was a
challenge to find a rhythm with someone that I don't have shorthand with, but
we quickly found our feet. At the end of the day it’s about trust.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We shot on Sony's F65 cinema camera in 4K using Lo-Mo Anamorphic lenses.
Cinematographer Callan Green was kind enough to let us use his lenses and I'm a
huge fan of the soft, cinematic feel that they provide. Shooting anamorphic
gave the image a lot of depth and since I love lens flare, it was great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shae Constantine was the video commissioner at Sony and he is a bit of a
maverick. He understands the filmmaking process and puts a lot of emphasis on
whom he chooses to collaborate with. He worked close with us throughout the
process and was gracious enough to take some risks on this video. It’s rare to
find a video commissioner who isn't just 'another marketing guy'. But Shae has
good taste in films and art and music and that’s always a great sign. He works
to protect both the filmmaker and the artist's interests - which is quite a
difficult position to be in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

beautiful spirit. He put a lot of heart and soul into this song so we felt we
had to honour that implicitly with the video. He gave good feedback during the
editing process but most of the time he was content to just let us 'do our
thing'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I would undoubtedly have researched the 4K post-pipeline more adequately and
found a more efficient workflow. I worked with two young producers and a young
editor without the advantage of a post-production supervisor, so the
post-process was a little painful, but it all worked out in the end. I'm quite
proud of the video.</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The lyrics of the song and the punchy rock melody. Also the idea of doing something dark and timeless that could be from any era and finally the location itself. We already had a concept for the clip and were trying to find the right location for it to work. All were external industrial and bush locations. Darren the guitarist heard about our final location through a friend and when I drove out west with the band and saw this World War 2 army bunker, the concept formed so much clearer in my head and I knew I could refine and make it work there. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The location was awesome and felt it was a good fit for the song. Eric always said the track was about bullying, so the idea of it being a place to break people's minds and be from any time period seemed the right fit in keeping that theme in tact. Myself and Eric had come up with a few different concepts to suit the song but due to time and budget I thought it best to keep it contained to one location and focus on making a great clip there. It was the first release and had to have impact. I liked the idea of having a fragile lead character who is physically overpowered but her mind cannot be. </span></div>
<div class="p2">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What was the budget?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Haha, does anyone ever give a specific figure for this question? Budget wasn't huge at all, but we were lucky with the key crew and gear deals we had to make it happen.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What were the limitations you faced with the production?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Time and Money. Always factors. If we had more money and time, another days shooting and 10K extra in the budget then sure, would've been awesome to see what could be done. But sometimes limitations can act as motivators and you make the best clip you can with what you've got. Exercise the skills which we're always dying to use. In terms of everything else, cast, location, crew, the band - all excellent.</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eric Grothe Jnr, James L Brown, Andrew Johnson and Craig Deeker. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Have you worked with any of them before?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes. They're a talented bunch of names and always a pleasure to work with. Had done a clip with </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">James Brown before and he's fast, fun, awesome and a cheeky bugger to work with. As Ron Burgundy says - he'll be 'kind of a big deal' someday. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Andrew Johnson is already kicking huge goals with doing Steadicam on Killing Them Softly and Mad Max 4 - And that's just in the last 18 months. His wrap sheet is amazing. This is the 4th clip of mine he's come on board to do and we work well together. He knows what I like and with all his experience and skill, his contribution and ideas are always fantastic. I've known Craig Deeker from Gingerbread for years around the trenches and we've been hanging out more these days. Apart from the fact that he's a very smart and gifted bastard, we get along pretty well and are brutally honest with our work. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As for Eric, what can I say, he's an unusual, talented kettle of fish. Great musician, funny, good ideas, drama queen, rips the piss outta me a lot and sometimes doesn't listen to anything I ask but somehow we get it done and collaborate well. First and foremost he's a good friend so that solid basis makes all the other stuff easier even if we butt heads on certain things. All part of the process.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Tell us about the videos production process?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Myself and Eric worked on the concept for a while and as it was the debut single from the debut album, we wanted it to have a sense of epic-ness about it. So we'd throw up ideas and either toss em' or build on them together. That's kinda how we work. So once that concept was formed with the location, Eric used his fan base on twitter and Facebook to find the cast. That's how we got the two girls - Emmillie and Kate. John and Anthony - the bad guys were friends of Eric.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was keen to have James L Brown and Andrew Johnson on board and once that happened I knew I could make everything fall into place. Due to our budget I was doing the directing/editing and producing so I got Eric to help with whatever he could also to make it come together. I did a few recce's to the locations just walking around, taking lots of photos and video to get a sense of the space and took James (DOP) with me once also. I love planning out shots and moments and even if you tweak or change on the day it's good to have a base to go from. I'd send reference videos and stills to Andrew 'AJ' Johnson for him to wrap his head around it and sorted the extra crew we needed with was only a focus puller, one gaffer, make-up and a editor/camera friend of mine Spencer to data wrangle. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The shoot itself went pretty quickly. One day,10 hours and it was go, go, go. The whole clip was on steadicam. We shot the band performing first, then the storyline. We used a total of 8 lights to light the whole place and it was mainly prac-light style with myself, James and AJ working out the moves around the band and cast with James providing his suggestions also. We had 3 drives and my laptop there backing up everything The last slo-mo shot of the clip was the end of the day and we had two takes. I didn't want to go overtime as every one was giving a deal to do the clip but it was a shot I really wanted to get as it heightens the whole video.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Emmillie and Kate nailed their performances and John and Anthony were fantastic even though they'd never acted before. Oh and course - the Shinobi lads brought their best on the day also.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After this, it was me editing away on Final Cut Pro with Eric coming over after a few drafts and putting in his two cents worth. I get pretty particular with the editing as that's my bread money work alongside the directing and it's all about getting every frame and cut in the right place. Craig was awesome letting us grade at Gingerbread and we had Yoomin Lee grade this one in 6 hours and it was done… phew.</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From shooting to delivery it was about a 4 weeks… By delivery I mean, rage, channel V and youtube. Although Channel V only placed it a few times, but you get that. Rage were great and played it a lot. As it was the independent debut single from the debut album, we didn't have to answer to anyone which is great but it was basically Eric and myself setting a deadline and doing our best to stick to it.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>How involved were the artist and label?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No labels involved as it was independent but Eric was involved in the process from the concept to the colour grade. He leaves the directing, producing and editing to me but we're always bouncing ideas off each other . I usually do a rough edit on my own first then we kinda collaborate on the edit which is actually a great process as we both have our ideas about what works and from bagging the shit out of each other for the last 3 years, we'll be brutal on what we think of how its shaping up.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>If you had a chance to approach it again, what would you do differently?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Replacing Eric's head with an Ewok head for the clip would've been great… Nah, for this particular clip with our budget, I'm happy with it. I put in a lot of time to make it work as resources were slim and there's a few shots I wish I got and a little more story stuff but otherwise satisfied. The idea was to introduce the band to audiences and have a nice looking clip in a cool location within the limitations of our budget and I think we achieved that. I wish it could've had more exposure and that's where a label helps but otherwise I hope it helps the band on their journey.</span></div>

days (we usually do 1 day shoots), due to the number of kids and the fact that
the desert shoot alone took up an entire day purely because of transport time.

each kid. I collected a lot reference material and the wardrobe and styling
fittings took 2 full days until each look was created that I was happy with,
but I'm glad because it allowed for a unique look for each kid, I wanted each
of them to look cool and be confident looking characters in their own rights.
That's how I think of 15 year olds. You're really very cool when you're 15.

story construction on the shoot itself. I tried to give characters to each kid
during the pinball scene and show some complex relationship dynamics between a
gang of kids and the underlying innocent sexual tension between them. I shot
lots of cool love triangles that didn't make it to the cut. But some are there,
for instance the nerdy kid yearning for the hot girl while she is oblivious to him,
a love triangle between a guy, his girlfriend and another girl who likes him
and of course the dynamics of the main character and being torn between two
girls. You know, all the cool stuff that makes being 15 so much fun and also so
horrible. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

so I left it in the hands of Daniel Principe who used the story sections I had
shot based on my concept treatment (like the ending, and the sections in the
pinball parlour) and the more abstract bits and pieces I shot to create the
edit. It became a cool balance of abstract and story based elements. I
originally was thinking less story and more abstract vibe shots, but his edit
was fantastic and it leant towards story more and I have to say it worked
better that way. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

travellers stranded in our time was a lot more obvious and there was actually a
glass/mirror prism shaped time machine that they all came from and went to in
the desert. I even shot VFX plates for it on the shoot. But none of that
eventuated mainly because of time/budget reasons and in fact its kinda cooler
without it I think. Its more vague but flows better. Plus apparently it looks
like a new Campaign for "American Apparel" or a similar brand,
according to online reviews, which I'm pretty happy with :) </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Yes both the band and the funding body were great to
deal with and understood the process well. The MRC believed in the project and
its potential to do well and they were very supportive. The Band didn't get
very involved but they dug the idea and allowed me to do what I wanted, which
was great. Josh, the singer of the band had been on the latest series of Big
Brother on TV and we were tossing up whether to feature him and the rest of the
band in the clip, but closer to the shoot I realised it wouldn't work and was
much better just to go with the storyline and they were cool with that. They
mentioned they wanted the feel of the clip to be more abstract and that’s
something I agreed on so it all worked out well. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

brackets. And also not just kids that looked great by themselves but ones that
would fit into a gang and look like they would be hanging out together. The
authenticity of it was very important to me. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

(main guy in top gun jacket) and Sarah (his GF with the hat) were not my first
choices to play the main parts. But soon as they put those particular costumes
on, there was something special about them that I hadn't seen before and
instinctively I decided to take a gamble and make them the main characters
instead (they were just one of the extras at that point). </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was the best decision I made.
Those two are two of the most amazing actors I have had the pleasure of working
with. They blew my mind with their effortless performances and they understood
the characters they were playing so well. Without them the clip wouldn't have
been the same and they're freaking stars as far as I'm concerned. Lauren
(Nick's present-date love interest) was another amazing discovery and for a 17
year old she is way beyond her years in intelligence and talent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

they converged in the desert and also in the games parlour. The parlour was one
of the only scenes where all 23 of them were together. It was actually one of
the quickest scenes to shoot and went really smoothly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
idea for a “crime piece” came from songs title - Bad Reality. Originally, we
wanted to shoot in Tasmania, doing a pulpy, narrative-based clip in the hills.
But the dollars didn’t stretch that far, so we decided to stay local, and try a
different concept. I’ve always loved the running scene in Requiem for a Dream,
so that was definitely an inspiration. But I’d never seen it used in reverse,
so we did some tests and it looked cool, and energetic, which I felt the song
needed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then
the idea for stunts came into the chase sequence. Again it was the idea of
those being run backwards that excited me. In addition, the idea using the four
girls playing the same character seemed interesting – like Todd Solondz did in
Palindromes. Finally, I wanted to try something that could extend into
interactive, try and push the idea of what a clip can be. In the end
though, I think it’s really the music that inspires.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
shot two big nights in and around Chinatown in Sydney. A lot of ground was
covered in the chase scenes, plus a number of stunts, it was tiring. In the
end, we closed of a couple of lanes for the stunt work, which allowed us
freedom and authenticity. We did a lot of body rig work. On set-up, with Holly
the bass player, she was riding a bike – that was pretty cool.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Always the same - money vs time. Though we did strike a hurdle in the first scene of the shoot. Holly, the bass player was only 14 at the time, so when I wanted to put her in a bra on a bed with blood from a head wound soaked into the sheets, it occurred to me that I never had asked her mum. Mrs Findlay had come with the girls from Melbourne, and she was in the next room. So we talked her through the shot and why we wanted to have Holly do it (it was to do with the order of the girls appearing in the clip) ... and she approved what we wanted to do, as long as it wasn't lewd, or in bad taste. She's got four daughters in a rock band, so I guess she knows that sometimes you need to push boundaries. Mind you, it wasn't like we were making The Exorcist</span></span></div>

around. But the label and management are great. They seem to trust me. You
can’t ask for more. With both clips, they wanted something that was a little
different. With this in one particular, they didn’t want a performance clip, so
it gave us a lot of freedom to use the girls in a narrative. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m
very happy with the way in turned out, actually. Probably the one thing that I
learnt was that narrative interactive clips are few and far between, and I
think that’s because predominately audiences are more into gimmick-based ideas:
they’re easier to follow, and in some ways are more fun. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had that discussion early on, Nev and I, so it was a conscious
decision to do narrative… to try and break some new ground. In the end, I think
we achieved a good balance: a traditional clip that can play for TV, plus a
digital interactive version (based around the ideas in the TV version), that
allow the users an opportunity to dig a bit deeper.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
