Melbourne based garage rock band Creature Fear release new stop motion video for single, ‘Little Fishes.’ Inspired by the single artwork, the clip is comprised of 2,500 frames hand drawn by the band, with each drawing cut out individually. The entire video took a full week to complete.
“We were in the final stages of planning the ‘Little Fishes’ music video and were within a week of shooting. However, due to the COVID-19 restrictions and lock down, we had to quickly change our plans and strategy. Jason had previously suggested animation but it seemed like something so out of reach. With not many options and lots of extra time on our hands due to lock down, we quickly re adjusted.”
The band did some trial runs, developed a proof of concept, a story board and jumped straight in. They used books, crates and a plank of wood from the garden to prop up a ring light. They then taped an iPhone into place above a large white notebook which became the background.
“We drew everything individually and cut it all out by hand. With each frame we moved each piece that was on the page. We approached each section like a scene and roughly planned out the movements and beats. A lot of the time we played the scenes out as we were creating them, finding little moments we could play with and that gave us a giggle.”
Following a series of independently released triple j approved singles, 2019 proved to be a breakout year for Creature Fear. Sharing the stage with major acts including Ball Park Music, a run of tour dates with Kingswood, supporting heavy hitters; Boo Seeka, Killing Heidi, The Delta Riggs & Tired Lion as well as selling out headline shows for the launch of singles ‘Baby Love Me’ & breakthrough gem, ‘Makeup’.
This success led to further milestones in Creature Fear’s history to date which included festival appearances at New Year’s Eve on the Hill 2019, Beyond the Valley Festival 2019 & St Kilda Fest in the summer of 2020. This year they were set to perform alongside BOO SEEKA at The Drive-In concert series which were unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19.
Renowned for their theatrical, leg-spasming live show which brings back the exciting energy of a 60’s rock n roll crowd wanting to dance the night away, Creature Fear blends the manic old-time fun and excitement with the sleekness of modern-day music to perfection.
With big aspirations, huge plans and no signs of slowing down, be prepared for 2020 to be the year of Creature Fear.
