Natalie McCool – ‘Devils’
Category: Music Videos
‘Take Me To Your Leader’, the lead track from Natalie McCool’s latest album Memory Girl was filmed at Vessel Studios in Liverpool, utilising their infinity wall.
The song is about overcoming imposter syndrome, so we used many setups that explored the idea of mirroring and symmetry, including a stand-in double on-set with Natalie for the shots that showed her directly interacting with her ‘mirror’ self.

Lyric music video for The Charlatans’ release ‘Over Again’ off their album Different Days. The video adapted their existing brand identity and subverted it slightly, adding film grain and light leaks that softly react to the colours of the lyrics as they appear.

Lyric music video created for Tim Burgess and the O Genesis label for the first track of his album ‘Same Language, Different Worlds’ with Peter Gordon.
An homage to two cultures, the video has both Japanese and English lyrics in a reverse scroll down the screen, along with stylised tetris piece outlines falling in the background and a blocky waveform pattern reacting to the audio input.
Clips from the video were broadcast live on Channel 4 during the show Sunday Brunch in September 2016.

My first ever lyric video, ‘Cardiac Arrest’, emulates the dizzying, headrush feeling of being in love by treating the lyrics as a twisting maze through a stylized bloodstream. There are multiple nods and references to the cardio-based wordplay Natalie McCool weaves throughout the track.

Natalie McCool – ‘Pins’
My fourth collaboration with Liverpool & London-based Natalie McCool for ‘Pins’, a moody, electronic track that continues the development of her new sound first heard in ‘Dig It Out’.
Filmed in the white box at WARPLiverpool, the video is sterile and minimalistic, focusing primarily on Natalie’s performance using a pivoting viewpoint from a fixed position. Special effects were added in post to overlay different takes, as well as abstract shots of a temporary yellow & black tape installation created in the space by production designer Laura Lomax.

Natalie McCool – ‘Dig It Out’
My third collaboration with singer-songwriter Natalie McCool for the infectious track ‘Dig It Out’.
Filmed over several nights at WARPLiverpool, a large post-industrial warehouse in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, the video contrasts the dark, brooding emptiness of the space with stark lighting, projections and incredible fire poi stunts courtesy of Bring the Fire Project.
