My Childhood Gun Battle Fantasies
ris video and graphic design team, Megaforce directed this new music video for Is Tropical’s new track, The Greeks. Mixing a bit of animated gun violence, rockets, fiery explosions, blood splatter and real-life footage, they managed to make an amazing music video. It’s as if they took my 8-year-old neighborhood gun battles and recreated them with CGI and video.
Not to mention, Is Tropical‘s music track “The Greeks” is awesome. It comes off the band’s upcoming album Native To release.
Part Rumblefish, part Die Hard, part Akira, we wanted to work together to create something both visually appealing and aesthetically relevant to the band.
We like kids, we like gangs, we really like daydreaming and imagination; the video straddles the line between nostalgia and the visual death-porn of our generation – the action film. Don’t get carried away by politics – this is a straight-up kid brawl the way it played out in your head when you were stealing your mums mascara to be like Arnie in Predator. It isn’t a shocking rebuke to our drama queen, populist news culture either – just naive, blissful shoot-yr-mate until he’s definitely dead war-games – the way you wish it still could be. When we asked MEGAFORCE how they came up with the concept, they simply answered : “we’ve been wanting to make such a video since the age of 6 !” —Kitsune Journal
