Huron

Video - Leech
(Strange People Productions)

This talented three piece indie/rock unit are given the Gareth Strange (and Dave Draper) treatment on this self penned song. A relatively simple video that features the band playing 'live' against the theme of a guy, namely 'Rooster' (is he the Leech of the song?) totally slobbed out in front of a grey, 'noise' banded TV, bottle in hand and oblivious to what's going on around him.

Clever shooting into stage lighting results in great edge lit silhouettes. Nice close-ups and tightly cropped images feature in typical Strange fashion.

The band appear as if playing in a small venue then as the camera pans away they appear in the living room of the seemingly unaware 'Rooster' lit only by the light emanating from grey TV screen, a standard lamp and occasional back projected images of Huron 'live' on the wall behind him. Dark (maybe a little under lit) images with dark, red hues feature throughout.

The 'noise' filled TV screen is recurrent; sometimes edited onto the faces of the band members, sometimes with ghostly images of the band added. The work ends abruptly with the 'noise' filled TV in the visual field. Another good Strange People Productions piece of work that should work well for Huron.

Have a look at this clever piece of work on the Strange People Productions website.
