Video Clips

Antiskeptic EP

  • 60% Intentional

The '60% Intentional' clip was a school project for a film production student and freind of the band. Shot over two days, one half on the streets of Box Hill in Melbourne and the the other half in-studio at Box Hill TAFE. The clip was submitted to the ABC for veiwing on RAGE and received several screenings which very fortunately co-incided with spotplay on triple J. The band quickly gained attention from indie labels, radio and industry professionals whilst touring on the back of this unplanned national exposure.

Memoirs of a Common Man

  • "Called"
  • "Four Seasons"

When Antiskeptic produced the clip for 'Called' it was to coincide with generous national airplay which the song had picked up and due to favourable attention from TRIPLE J, was included on the first TRIPLE J Hottest 100 DVD. Filmed in an underground carpark in St Kilda, Melbourne between the hours of 9pm-3am one friday night the clip was put together on a meager budget of only $3000. It was also available on the CD single 'Four Seasons' as a CD-ROM component and on various give away/compilation CD's including Coke's M-One festival sampler.

'Four Seasons' was put together on an even smaller budget and shot in an upstairs graphic design/ photography suite in the melbourne CBD. It featured images of australian soldiers from the vietnam war about whom the song is written. This clip also received a generous amount of screen time with support from 'Fly TV' (R.I.P), a music focussed youth program on Saturday mornings on ABC.
