Adrenalin @ Rushes Chosen to Complete Post Work on Chikinki’s New Single Artist: Chikinki Adrenalin @ Rushes recently completed the post work on this energetic, seventies-style promo which accompanies the addictive new single ‘Assasinator 13’ from Bristol-based band Chikinki. The promo is set in an archetypal seventies living room, complete with canary yellow curtains, teak sideboard and the once ubiquitous Tretchikoff ‘Chinese Girl’ print on the walls. The opening shots focus on Ed, the band’s guitarist, as he strums to the rhythmic beat of the track. As he does so, his t-shirts magically change. One by one each of the band members are introduced - Rupert on vocals, Boris on the synthesizer, Steve on drums and Trevor on keyboards. In time to the pulsating music their clothes and the fixtures and fittings in the room alternate. One moment they are fully clothed sitting on a leatherette sofa and the next minute they stand nakedly beside a kidney-shaped side table. The action moves to a clearing in a forest, where Trevor is playing the keyboards. He is joined by a group of people, who dance frantically before falling to the ground, apparently dead. Back in the living room the lights change, a skeleton sitting in a chair starts to speak, and the Chinese girl on the wall winks. It is not long before the band are playing before a desert mural, complete with cacti and setting sun. Once again they are joined by a gaggle of dancers, who are soon dead on the floor. This promo is fun, original and quirky and a perfect compliment to the upbeat music. Adrenalin Producer Jonathan Davies adds: “Dougal Wilson has created yet another brilliant music video. The different takes of performance match perfectly and the attention to detail is superb. The overall effect is hypnotic and surely one of the best videos of 2003 so far.” |
