Chocolate & Strawberry

here is a music video I just completed for a band from Singapore. they are called Stellarium, the track is called Chocolate & Strawberry.
If you go to the vimeo page, you can watch it fullscreen http://vimeo.com/10554464


The video is made using several different films from the Perlinger Archive at archive.org . (could have been a 6x1 project)
The digital distortion was created using digieffects awesome plugin Damage.
I really like this combination of old film-stock grain mixed with digital and analog distortion and how they seem to fit the sound of the song.
It was a fun experience working on this. getting a tight cut of images then going in and adding distortion and trying to make that a vital character in the visuals, because its such a vital part of the song.

The monkeys are from a bicycle safety video. it too is very, strange and creepy.

Im excited with the end product, and Im excited about working more with this band. the singer/guitarist and I have been gmail chatting about some video to play at their shows among other things that he has given the name "visual assault".
