Gauche: Running (official video, merge records)

From the album A People's History of Gauche, Merge Records

Camera and lighting: Alex Miklowski
Direction, editing and animation: Kara Stokowski

The video was filmed entirely in front of a green screen, and is heavily inspired by the music videos of the B-52's, Dee-Lite and italo disco videos from the 1980's. For the backgrounds I used nihilistic footage of landfills, cleaning toilets, and the BP oil spill to echo the songs feelings of desperation under capitalism. The video is a collage of choreography, digital animation, stop motion and creative commons found footage.
