An eerie and dark music video, Directed by Noah Harris at Colonel Blimp.
The mood for the two female characters needed to have a timeless feel to it.. making the characters hard to place and more spooky. For the young girl I wanted to project her innocence to enhance her vulnerability to the other two characters. So for this I chose to put her in a vintage child's nightdress/ christening dress. I then tea stained the dress to enhance the antique feel. I really loved the peter pan Broderie Anglaise collar of the dress- the ultimate "Doll."
The Grandmother had a very matronly like character, whilst also feeling dark and repressed. So for this I decided to make her a long, high necked Mormon inspired dress. Using a heavy dark green cotton, with pleat detail at the waist and neck (it had to have some detail!) To add a further dark twist to her character I made a leather collar piece with wire and cabling attached to one side... The collar and technology element totally contrasted with her traditional dress.. thus making her even more bizarre!
Our drummer needed to posses an unworldliness- and also ignite some fear and menace. For his outfit I turned to vintage Pilot and Police wear. Teaming a vintage Pilot Suit with Vintage Army Equipment, modern day Riot Wear and a WW2 Gas Mask.
Below are some images of how his character evolved during my prep.
