Saam Farahmand's second video for ex-Klaxon James Righton's new project Shock Machine transforms Righton into a fire- and storm-bringing silhouette, capable of stirring and harnessing the elements.It's a development from Saam's video for the eponymous Shock Machine debut, which was inspired by artist Angus Fairhurst's absent human cutouts. And it also touches on that cosmic quality of some of Saam's videos for the Klaxons, itself influenced by that awesome 70s mini-film for The Jacksons' Can You Feel It.And a lovely job by Tom Lindsay, for his 'audio-visual assembly and composition'.
