When Perth punks Last Quokka reached out for help in creating visuals for their new single I felt impelled to not only help, but to deliver a visual punch in the face the track deserves.
The tracks urgency around issues of right now meant the video had to be completed fast, so I took a punk-inspired cut and paste approach to pull images straight from the headlines/cyberspace. The band also wanted to reach their audience in the most direct and immediate way possible so the video was optimized for social media, hence the 9×16 frame.
The response to the clip has been pretty wild with it resonating strongly with viewers, even the Australian Greens described it as ’10/10 capturing the rage we all feel’.
