Dead Man dancing




For any readers of this blog , you will know i have worked on Poster and Ep work with Sydney band Tin Sparrow in the past . Its been a great relationship over the years and i felt very proud to be doing their first official video clip for their killer track "The Beast ". It started out as something very different indeed , it started out as an idea i had in new york a few years ago about a man growing a mouth on the back of his head that sang and abused people as he attempted to make his way home from work . But as this progressed my ability to deliver this concept to its full potential failed ( mainly due to FX work). So we marched on and evolved the story of a man , recently turned into a zombie who , despite his knowledge , is slowly descending into one of the walking undead . it also gave a great opportunity to take another dig at office work and 9-5's in general ( a bane of my 20's ). It was also a lot of fun to explore that thin line between dancing and convulsing and as it turned out it was often confused by passers by as the latter . so after a few re-shoots , involving some very fun zombie cameo work , we got the video out that we were all very proud off. Which goes to prove once again that art is pretty much a constant work in progress .
