Music Video for The Telescopes.
Double Agent Records.
From Creative Stoke Review of work.

Flying (2006) is a very accomplished new promo video for The Telescopes. It avoids the obvious temptation to give psychedelic music a colourful 'kaleidoscopic' look as a backdrop, and instead goes for subtle black and white montages of trees and branches, suggesting the complexity of the music through the complexity of organic overlappings and gentle wind movements. Gradually shots of the band playing are subtly interwoven, without breaking the mood. The whole peice is very successful, and evokes both the atmosphere of Japanese tree prints and a "west coast 60s" psychedelic feel.
