MEMORIES FADE - SWITCH 3

MUSIC VIDEO  |  Produced: 2005  |  Shooting Gauge: 35mm  |  Duration: 4 mins

Alice shelters from the rain in an apparently abandoned house.  She soon meets the creepy inhabitants.  Canberra Punk-Rock band Switch 3’s debut music video clip.

The band wanted a visually engaging narrative driven clip on a budget and that’s what we made.  Alice is curious like her famous predecessor and journeys through a dark mysterious house where she shelters during a storm.  The house gives her puzzles to solve and strange creatures to play with, all of which guide her to meeting the band at the end of the clip.  

We wanted a dark visual style, akin to the Japanese horror films of the 1990s as well as a naivety of character in Alice.  Marionettes and zombies seem so at home in a haunted house, where childhood nightmares are set.  Including visuals of the attractive band members was essential as this was their debut clip.
