Cloud Control ‘Death Cloud’ by Luke Snellin
Wednesday, 28. September 2011 - 3:30 pm
Luke Snellin’s video for Cloud Control’s Death Cloud – taken from the Aussie band’s debut album Bliss Release – tells a story of two tense guys in a van, and a strange creature ill-equipped to survive in our world.
It’s certainly in the vein of recent videos for Yeasayer and MGMT, but not quite so fatalistic. And Luke’s blog explains how they made their creature and shot in Spain for two days, on around £3.5K…

I really enjoyed this. Great film. and very moving.
I think it is a real shame that they had to make it on £3.5k (which is just insane to be honest) and a real shame that no-one got paid, but alas this is the new world order… so be it. How long do we think it will be before directors start paying record labels to make music videos for them?
Well done to everyone involved.
