Sister / Dorsal Fins
Shooting with the Fins was really cool - for one I’d been a fan for some time, so getting to work with them was a meeting of minds!
It was also great to work alongside Izzie Austin who I think brings out great concepts from songs. Although I do less filming and more editing & directing these days, it was excellent to be able to get behind the lens and craft some imagery.
I played around with this old TV studio lens which you could pull some nice aberrations out of. So all that rainbow goodness in the clip is practical. Big fan.
‘Sister’ is from the Dorsal Fins album ‘Star of the Show’.
"Sister is about solidarity and trying to see something from someone else's perspective and then finding solidarity in that connection. My interpretation of sisterhood is not between only women, but between allies and people that understand, and that can stand together.”
