Australian indie pop queen Vera Blue has just dropped a stellar music video for her new single All The Pretty Girls.
The filmic video, directed by ARIA award nominee Jared Daperis (Gang of Youths, RUFUS) explores undefined relationships and the vague territory they enter as they start to deteriorate. Did someone say “ghosting”?
Vera Blue says about the new video, “This clip is one of my favourites so far. I loved working with Jared on the concept and story line and I knew he understood the tune with a simple but metaphorical vision, beautifully shot with the perfect amount of quirk and emotion. I loved involving other actors into the clip to create relatable dynamics and romantic relationships. The whole day shooting the clip for me was so fun and easy, shooting in so many amazing and cool locations in Melbourne! The team were so relaxed and we had so much fun. The theme and style of ‘All The Pretty Girls’ clip is fresh and vibrant with a new feel that aligns nicely with the tune. I hope people love it as much as I do!”
Jared Daperis says, “I wanted to create a compelling visual aesthetic using both camera and production design to almost contrast the song’s pop sensibilities. The theme of broken love and the phenomena of ‘ghosting’ in new relationships was our foundation and something we wanted to tell subtly through mostly surreal, abstract visuals. Heavy zooms, deliberate and obscure art-direction and eerily vacant performances and interactions was our focus. Celia was not only an absolute dream to work with on the day but her and her team were so willing and like-minded in their collaboration; allowing us such creative freedom to deliver some moody visuals for a really brilliant pop song.”
