Hudson and Troop - "Frameless"
Synopsis
Oh Yeah Wow directors Darcy Prendergast and Andrew Goldsmith teamed up to create Hudson & Troop's 'Framelss' featuring a chain smoking blue monster, who uses AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) to sign the lyrics of the song, while working a dead end job as a fry cook.
Oh Yeah Wow have explored their fair share of prosthetic work and know how tolling it can be on actors - so for this clip they decided that Darcy co-direct from inside the monster suit. After 3 hours in the make up chair Darcy spent a gruelling 24-hour shoot in a full body fur suit on a 42-degree (celsius) summer day -surprising locals on the streets of Springvale, who stopped to take selfies with the big blue monster.
