An Invisible Man, A Songstress, A Mad Scientist And A Femme Fatale
Love at first sight? A tongue-in-cheek, comic book inspired, detective film noir music video by Hilary Grist.
Songstress Hilary Grist releases a quirky film noir short film for 'Waltzing Matilda' - incorporating elements of classic detective film noir with an invisible super-human twist.
Filmed at the infamous Penthouse Nightclub in Vancouver and in Hilary Grist's 600-square-foot apartment, where sets for the home-made science lab and the invisible detective's office were built.
"We studied a lot of film noir classics and 1930s sci-fi movies.
We ended up doing almost all of the special effects for real, in-camera, which is how they had to do it back then,' says director Mike Southworth.
'The song's lyrics are a reminder of how as life goes on we tend to grow more and more careful when what we really need to remember is to let go.
The older I get, the more I want to re-capture that magical feeling of wild child-like fantasy.
My music, art and videos do that for me - and hopefully for others too!'
