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.
Aurora
- "Nothing to Say"
- "Beautiful in White"
Monuments EP
- "Dancing on the Inside"
Monuments Release. DOTI is one of the four in-studio performances included on the 'Monuments DVD'. The clip showed the band recording the song at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne and gives an inside look at the recording and performance of the track whilst in the setting of a recording studio. Drums are in an isolation booth whilst free-roaming camera's catch the rest of the action in the main room.
Commercial Release. By far the most visually impressive clip produced by the band to-date, DOTI was filmed over 36 hours of straight shooting not including the digital post production and special effects. Initial production began in the morning at various locations across Brisbane for the story/narrative element which features a young woman fleeing from dark apparitions across a range of landscapes. After dusk the crew settled in for a long night time shoot of the bands performance at an unused correctional faciltiy in Wacol, Brisbane. The clip was aired on RAGE, Channel V and recieved generous attention through the bands Myspace and Youtube sites.
