Here is a very inventive animated videoclip for the instrumental and surf-pop single Apache (album Milky Way) by the Australian band Danger Beach.
Danger Beach is the band of LA Thomas, alter ego of lo-fi noise pop band Assassins 88. Inspired by the single Apache from their album, New Zealand illustrator Ned Wenlock and animator Rodney Selby have therefore made this excellent animation to discover.
« This video was a lot of fun to make. I had an Apache character I’d been doodling for a while (read doodles post from last year) but I wasn’t sure what to do with him until I came across this track on a website called New Weird Australia. The track was perfect, I got in touch with the band (Danger Beach) and started noodling out some ideas » (Ned Wenlock). »
« I liked the idea of the Apache traveling from his home via different old fashioned modes of transport and finally getting swallowed up the modern city, giving a sense of nostalgia – similar to the start of the film ‘Midnight Cowboy’ with it’s track ‘Everybody’s Talkin’ » (Ned Wenlock, cf. the website Motionographer).
Have a good week.
