Alice shelters from the rain in an apparently abandoned house. She soon meets the creepy inhabitants. Canberra Punk-Rock band Switch 3’s debut music video clip.
The band wanted a visually engaging narrative driven clip on a budget and that’s what we made. Alice is curious like her famous predecessor and journeys through a dark mysterious house where she shelters during a storm. The house gives her puzzles to solve and strange creatures to play with, all of which guide her to meeting the band at the end of the clip. We wanted a dark visual style, akin to the Japanese horror films of the 1990s as well as a naivety of character in Alice. Marionettes and zombies seem so at home in a haunted house, where childhood nightmares are set. Including visuals of the attractive band members was essential as this was their debut clip.
