If I Were The Hunter - Set Circles

Polaroid outtake of Nigel Edwards from the studio.

For our latest release we had full creative licence to roll with whatever came to our head(which is always welcomed). Given the stylistic nature of the track we wanted to do something a little different. We decided to collaborate with another artist - Nigel Edwards of dance collective Lost is Found. Based off of Nigel's interpretation of the music we would shoot and edit alongside what he created as sort of an amalgamation of ideas forming one piece.

Working with a minimal crew and plenty of time to play with compositions is always a welcome change. Director Richard Clifford had this to say about producing the piece "When I first heard the track, the visuals were instant. I remember seeing Nigel perform at a show I was shooting and knew that his unique tutting style of dance would be a perfect match. I got in contact with Nigel and played him the track, basically begging him to get on board. I asked if he could interpret the music and create movements based on that. Then I’d film based around those movements. The results are a very immersive. Editor Tim Blackburn did an amazing job taking those two elements and creating the electrifying end results.

Only two lights were used in production.

Jamie Page aka Set Circles had this to say about the video “The music video is almost a whole seperate piece of art that I’m just stoked to have my music behind really. I sent him(Richard) the song with the hope that it might spark something in his mind and fortunately for me, he seemed to dig it. I’ve always been a massive admirer of dance of all styles so when he came to me with a pitch involving Nigel, I was hugely excited. What you see in the clip is talent.. Im sure it was hard to get right, but the guys at Spliting Films managed to get it so right. I’m just so stoked to be a part of it.”

Pipeline - Old Sault

Angie taking a break onset during the final scene.

Our latest video with Old Sault marked the second premier within the short space of 6 months. After releasing her debut EP, Mostly Worried in June of 2017 Angie continues to impress with her latest track Pipeline, where her vocals grace our ears once again. 

Set in Melbourne, amongst a landscape of highways and industry lay the foundations for a collaboration that aimed to compliment the ever calmative, dreamlike melodies of Pipeline. 

DOP Brad Francis working on the opening scenes magic.

This is our third collaboration with Angie, and as always, it is a privilege and honour to work with such an multi-talented artist.

Here is what director Bradley Murnane has to say about the project: "Pipeline was the extension of an idea that came from an abandoned space I stumbled across that was stacked with discarded washing machines. It's sparked the idea of an alternate dimension where people could be transported into variable locations and environments but stemming from the same beginnings. Making it's way into the video creating a surreal type tone where a world in itself could be found. Like any song I guess, you want to have it owns place so anyone can imagine themselves escaping inside it.

The clip was shot in a day in the city of Melbourne with cinematography by Brad Francis and co produced by Elizabeth Lea".

Angie had this to say about the Pipeline production, "Pipeline is a deeply personal song so creating a visual to it was inconceivable to me at first. Directors Bradley Murnane and Richard Clifford are good friends of mine, so there’s an incredible level of trust when we create together. The clip was conceived by Bradley after a few conversations we had outside of music and outside of filmmaking. He knew what I was going through when I wrote the song and applied that completely to the creative process. The clip isn’t really meant to make sense to a stranger, it doesn’t have a middle or an end. It’s riddled with symbols and metaphors and the rest is up to the viewer.
