Today I wanted to share a lyric video I made for the South African band Doe. The song is off their Ep 'Mutiny on the Balcony'
I love Doe's sound, especially on this song. The melody is catchy with nice lyrics and vocal performance. I was really fond of the guitar work too.
The first step for me in making these videos is finding some kind of concept or general visual idea. I was trying to think of times and situations we lie. I settled on the idea of theatre and performance. I think it's a cool comparison with the lying in a relationship the song speaks about. A lot of the time we're all kind of playing a part, pretending to be someone we're not. I went hunting or footage and was happy to find the old school vaudeville type shots, that really got the ball rolling. My favorite moment was the mimes around 1:20-30 and the end, the closes up and expressiveness is compelling for me.
Thanks for reading, take care everyone 👺
