Big Sixes release short film ‘The Idles’

Big sixesBig Sixes have released a short film to coincide with their EP release ‘The Idles’.

Big Sixes’ singer Charlie Costello said the following about the film:

“We really wanted to make visuals for every track on the EP. We had come up with all these ideas for static shots, single shot videos, time lapses. That sort of thing. We took it to our manager, who introduced us to an amazing Director named Frederick Lloyd and then gave us a budget. We weren’t sure what a ‘budget’ was but we looked it up on google and then smiled.

“The idea was to create something which was beautiful and ambiguous. Something that would resonate differently to different people, in different situations. Where your interpretation of the film alters your own emotional context, every time you watch it. We also wanted to create something that was visually stunning. Not just the way it’s shot, but what happens in the shot that can make the ordinary seem fascinating. Taking great pride in the flourish of the wings, the mannequin arms, the way the light passes. So yeah we made a short film. And Freddie made it snow inside! The lunatic!”
