Ded Square "Shimokitazawa" (Natasha Cantwell, dir.)

"The band and I watched endless clips of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly to inspire our choreography for the video, before coming up with our own dance creations, such as The Sailor-Crab and The Ticking Clock. After shooting had wrapped, the chance discovery of a matching vintage pheasant sweatshirt made me rethink the video's concept. We returned to the pink art deco apartments and our Singin' in the Rain video somehow morphed into something closer to the 90s thriller Single White Female." Director, Natasha Cantwell

Sean Molloy "Hell" (Natasha Cantwell, dir.)

I've seen a lot of music video. A lot. So many that someone should study my brain to see what the effects are from a 20 year onslaught of quick cuts and ADD randomness. And I think I can say with a fair amount of certainty that "Hell" is the weirdest music video I've ever seen, an homage to hairdressing, religious cults, meat and meat by-products.

Fun probably true facts from director Natasha Cantwell:

  • "Hell" was shot on 16mm (the creepiest of film formats)
  • His day job is a hairdresser
  • The video was shot at Melbourne's Merri Creek, where cast and crew had to contend with deadly snakes and attacking magpies

Enjoy!
