Indie Rock Bands and Sewing Themes ?




What takes 1 kilometre of thread, 73,000 embroidery stitches, 6 Kg of fabric scraps and 100 needles and pins? Would you believe a pop/rock band video?

The 5 piece Indie band Black Books, who hail from Austin Texas have done just that. They approached famed director Christophe Thockler ( aka DaBrainkilla on YouTube ) to create a video for their song "Favorite Place" from their most recent EP " Aquarena".
 M. Thockler, who directed, filmed and produced the clip, chose
 to explore the world of fashion, taking two months and 10,000 photos to create the stop motion music video . The photography is fabulous, the lighting superb and the video compliments the music of this group.

Here's a link with a few stills and if you scroll down you can click on the video to see the fabulous results of this collaboration. A delight for music fans and stitchers alike !
