Rob Brandon's new video for Sundara Karma's 'She Said' is a 16mm montage of teens preparing for a night out in classic fashion: drink, drugs, facebook, pubs and sexual tension. Intercut with Sundara's performance in a series of close-ups, the video sways between the awkwardness and joy of youth in a nostalgic aesthetic.
Directed by Rob Brandon 'In My Car' is shot in Gold Panda's hometown of Chelmsford, England and stars his grandmother.
In a statement, Gold Panda said of the video:
I asked Rob to just come and film us (my gran and I) being boring. But now, when I watch it back, it doesn’t seem mundane at all. It seems actually really nice and sweet. I was thinking about all this cool stuff we could do, slow-mo shots, what outfit I could wear, maybe an explosion and who could be in my crew. But real life is exciting enough; you just don’t see it when you’re in it.
Listen to the man. Especially when that man is Sir Ian Mckellen, who proceeds to (not) ruin a video by (not) upstaging Sir (not) George Ezra in a swinging update of the "You Can Call Me Al" model.
Cast: Theodora Van Der Beek, Ben Higgs, Nadine Wild-Palmer, Amer Chadha-Patel & Kyle Shepard
Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual. - Alfred Hitchcock
