Skitchy: "Lethargy My Friend" Video

Video description: From his cutting edge album comes the first music video from the eclectic artist Skitchy. For too long artists have had little or nothing to do with their own promo videos, but Skitchy has decided to buck that trend and created a slightly disturbed 3D animated masterpiece - by himself. 3D animation in music video is usually reserved for artists with high budgets and large teams of animators, but with this piece Skitchy has broken the mould. The video revolves around a day in the life of a robot living in a world that is part cartoon and part reality. When a gang of thugs attack he decides to get revenge. An idea comes to him when he spots something bouncing along the sidewalk - a human heart. So he grabs his shovel and heads for the cemetary... Skitchy commented "Originally I was making the video as a purely promotional piece for my music, but as time went by it took on a life of its own. When you make something comletely by yourself you have no restraints, and working in a 'virtual' 3D world gives you free reign to 'play God'. I could visualise certain scenes, and others just happened as I built and animated them."

'Squeezemen' is a fun piece, made by Annie and Stephen Gard, who are not a husband and wife team, but cousins. The soundtrack was created from sampled sounds of Annie playing her violin; Annie also made the characters and moved them about the set; Stephen shot each still with a digital camera, and edited the sound and video. Annie also did some editing - the whole project was an experimental, 'holiday' project. Annie Gard is a student at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music High School; Stephen Gard is a composer and video artist.
