Katy J Pearson 'Alligator' by Edie Lawrence
Promonews - 8th June 2022
Edie Lawrence creates a life action cartoon for Katy J Pearson - featuring Paul McGann, the I in Withnail & I.
McGann cameos as an astonished diner in a sloppily-run café where surreal things happen. But it's mainly Katy who becomes the victim in an unravelling psycho-nightmare.
The video explores the song's themes of paranoia, anxiety and intrusive thoughts, playing with perspective to mimic the effects of a panic attack. Katy is placed in a shrinking cafe of hysterical bean shovelling, age switching and glass eating customers.
Known for her work in claymation on videos for IDLES and Sad Night Dynamite, the café itself resembles one of Lawrence's trademark miniature sets - with all food made from latex, clay and gelatine, while the counter, fridge, doors and frames are all cardboard - to amplify the absurdity.
