Mould 'Chunks' by Martyn Thomas

Rob Ulitski - 3rd Dec 2024

Martyn Thomas turns alt-rock outfit Mould into oddball vintage TV stars, in a clever combination of studio performance, art direction and practical effects. 

Shot over two days with a micro crew, Thomas's video for Chunks squeezes the most from limted resources to create something fun and obscure.

Creative lighting choices and the monochromatic aesthetic create an abstract feel throughout, and harks back to iconic DIY rock videos of yesteryear. Meanwhile, some visual ideas were inspired by the early golden age of TV:  the SFX eyeballs worn by the band are inspired by the questionable prosthetics featured in classic early 60s sci-fi show The Outer Limits.

Thomas brings these elements together in a very effective performance edit, resulting in an excellent showcase for the Bristol-based threepiece.
