The Leaf Label approached us to realise an idea they'd had for the new Melt Yourself Down promo video.
They gave us a wide open brief – War VS Youth Culture.
With a limited budget we decided to create a film entirely from archive material. Sourcing suitable / legitimate footage led us right into the darkest recesses of the internet and beyond.
Trying to give the film a global feel was a challenge – most archive footage we came across seemed to view the world through western eyes. An interesting side note :)
Once we had collected a huge amount of archive we locked ourselves in a very intense edit and this is the result. Upsetting viewing at times but a great track and a great job to work on.
