VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

Play, download and edit the video Pressure Cooker teaser 1.

Pressure Cooker is an experimental, high-octane music video that attempts to stimulate the audience through the use of multiple film/video formats and a plethora of textures, movements and compositions, denoting the omnipresent phenomena's of order and chaos that influence our daily lives.

Chaos is an inevitability of life on earth, entropy persists no matter how great man's efforts are to produce systematic order. In the western world today, we rely heavily on automated machines and electronic devices to maintain our preferred ways of living. This is not an entirely negative approach to existence on earth, but does present some unavoidable problems if not carried out with care and respect for the natural forces that ultimately dictate our livelihood.

We are happy to consume as much as we possibly can, whilst turning a blind eye to the effects of the near imperishable waste that this level of consumption creates. Some of us will drive to and from our jobs that are less than a mile away, regardless of the financial, physical and environmental benefits of walking or cycling instead. Some of us do not realise the fragility of the systems we have permitted to control our lives, machines and computers are as susceptible to malfunction as anything else is in nature, complete reliance on them to control nearly all aspects of our lives is dangerous and sets us up for harsh disillusionment.

Hopefully, some of the frenetic imagery in this film will stimulate personal memories and feelings within the viewer, encouraging them to draw their own conclusions about the topics present in the film, whilst urging them to consider the consequences of their own habits and actions from a broader perspective.

The visual style of the film tries to exemplify the zeitgeist of western culture, relating it to a boiling broth of contrasting agendas, disparate attitudes, misinformed actions and examples of the natural world affected. Many different formats and approaches to image-making were adopted during the production to aid this sense of disparity and contrast, including; stop-motion animation and HD video as well as 8mm film and found stock footage, both old and new.
