Chemical Brothers, Dancing Fish
Posted by Creative Review, 7 August 2007, 12:44 Permalink Comments (4)
To create the promo for new single, The Salmon Dance, the Chemical Brothers turned to the team that created the award-winning video to their track Believe back in May 2005. Directed by Dom & Nic of Factory Films, the promo for The Salmon Dance sees a young guy waking up to the sound of a muffled beat. As he wanders through his rather roomy pad, he realises the noise is coming from his aquarium. It's at this point that the fish start talking, beatboxing and rapping...
We're currently talking to the post production team at Framestore CFC, headed up by Creative Future Ben Cronin, in order to take a look at the making of the video in the September issue of Creative Review.
