Wright proves himself to be a bit of a renaissance man...
Former And So I Watch You From Afar man Tony Wright makes his directorial debut with the new clip for VerseChorusVerse’s gorgeous ‘Inches From A Fairytale’.
A zero budget jobbie that nevertheless looks fab!
“I decided a few months ago to put some old songs to bed before the album comes out,” Tony explains. “I also decided that it would be cool to put together some short films to go along with these songs. You know, as you do. This is the first of a series of videos that will be available in the coming weeks.
“For each song I wanted to stylistically contradict the production of the recording. In other words, this song has a fair few tracks on it. It’s almost (whisper it) prog-pop! So I thought it would be interesting, challenging and, most importantly, fun, to conceptualise, write, design and realise a basic shadow puppet parable/fairytale world, whilst reflecting the lyrics.
“The story is a simple one, an age old tale of overcoming adversity and not backing down from pursuing your dreams. I hope it connects with you in some way. If it does, please, please, please feel free to get in touch and tell me. I’d love to hear from you and your thoughts on it. This is a two way street friends, let’s have some fun sharing!
“The characters bear a passing resemblance to aliens, or even the Silence from Doctor Who (yes I am a sucker for sci-fi – a theme which continues in the other vids), so I decided to give our hero (there’s always got to be a hero, right?) a bowtie as a nod to this, and as we all know… bowties are cool.
“Check out the SharkWolf though, she’s my favourite, she should get her own TV series or something!”
‘Inches From A Fairytale’ is also available as a name your price download.
