Inspired very much by exploitation films of the 70's this video was my first real delve into something a little bit sexier than usual , albeit twisted and creepy .
I really wanted the tone to change on repeat viewings , so at first it seems like a little semi erotic bit of entertainment but as its revealed through the video something far more disturbing is going on and those nuances of the actors then begin to take on other meanings.
I loved making this video , we shot with very little crew in a warehouse / set space above a props factory in sydney , even though the tone was twisted there was always a very playful spirit on set ( as you can see from the wonderful BTS pics taken by my lovely partner Dim ).
There was also a lot of experimentation going on from me behind the camera
using old stills lens mounted to the front of my digital lens to give it that
aged feel
( even though it was aged in post , its good to get as much of it in camera ).
As a funny side note we shot the clips climatic ending where his possessions are torched by the scorned lover on the front drive way of my house early one morning , to the raised eye brows and amusement of the neighbors
