Director Peter Sluszka utilizes a medley of visual techniques in his music video for the U.K. based band Moones and their single "Better Energy". Shipwrecked on an iceberg floating in the frigid seas, the marooned band tries to survive with the help of a resourceful cat as mysterious events unfold. The "Better Energy" band performance was shot over the course of three days at Hornet Workshop, Hornet's shooting stage in Brooklyn. To give it a playful and witty feel, Sluszka incorporated a variety of visual elements including stop motion, pixilation, claymation, puppetry, all of which was intercut with live action.
