Donna McRae asked if she could use some new technology at Deakin University to do a clip for Night Of The Wolverine a couple of months ago and the finished film was pretty great!
It was a project for her students and herself as much as anything I guess. I just said at the beginning that it might be difficult for any band involvement as Robin Casinader lives in Canberra (his image appears in the clip on a billboard) and that I would not be able to mime to the song. (Also that the band doesnt really exist as a full time thing) For other reasons I wasn't really comfortable trying to mime it and thought it would suit it more if I just appeared in it as a cameo. Like a wandering presence. Its all Donnas ideas. I just suggested a nightclub scene after hours or - when it was explained what was possible with the Virtual Studio technology- some sort of downbeat neon streetscape like Francis Ford Coppolas One From The Heart.
Here is a link to an interview Donna did with Filmink about the production.
We were invited into the Friday Review on ABC Melbourne with Brian Nankervis and Jacinta Parsons. Robin Casinader flew down from Canberra for the afternoon to do the session. We played two songs, Mogambo and I'm Just Havin' One O' Those Lives live to air and did and interview. The sound was excellent and it was great to see that beautiful ABC studio still being used. Unfortunately the audio is already unavailable from the ABC site.
More shots from behind the scenes at the video shoot.
