Dutch Criminal Record release new music video for ‘C’est La Vie’

DUTCH CRIMINAL RECORD have released a new music video!

The new music video is for the Portsmouth-based indie surf rockers’ latest single C’est La Vie, which was released earlier this month via Alcopop! Records.

Speaking about shooting the video, vocalist and guitarist Sam Thrussell says, “It was a really cool experience, as we filmed the project at Panavision using their amazing gear which has been featured on so many films and TV series. Joe Cornick (DOP) and Connor Pearson (Director) and the rest of the team are such talented young individuals and managed to make a really cinematic and humorous video which to our minds has a bit of a Jordan Peele-esque feel to it. We particularly like the twist right at the end…”

Director Connor Pearson and cinematographer Joe Cornick add, “When we heard the song we felt that it had such a distinct, summer sound that the first questions we asked ourselves were ‘Can we subvert this? Can we do something different?’ Then it was just a case of how far we wanted to push it. From the outset Connor and I knew we wanted this to have a distinct dark visual style that would go hand in hand with our unfolding narrative. We built a collection of images that we felt hit the right style and look we wanted for each section. Referencing a wide range of material like horror films, commercials and other music videos, I then worked through lens and light combinations that would give us the look we achieved.”
