The Toadlickers video I directed gets its first television airing this week on Vintage TV. It will be broadcast as part of a programme entitled ‘Thomas Dolby – My Vintage’ in which, according to the channel, “Thomas Dolby talks us through the songs and artists that have inspired him over his remarkable music career and gives us a taste of what’s in store for us with his latest releases.”

Breaking News – ‘The Toadlickers‘ music video that I directed and produced for Thomas Dolby last year has just been nominated for not one, but two Webby Awards!
The Webby’s are The Oscars of the web, so this is quite a big deal!
The Toadlickers is one of five music videos nominated in the ONLINE FILM & VIDEO > MUSIC category of The Webby People’s Voice Award.

A few months ago, Thomas Dolby invited me to direct his first music video of the 21st century!
The track, entitled ‘The Toadlickers’, is about a group of scientists who live in the hills of Snowdonia, get high licking toads, get the munchies and come out at night to raid sweetshops.
Given the song’s banjo ‘n’ fiddle heavy roots Americana, some might see it as something of a radical departure for him, but I beg to differ! Infectious melodies…surreal humour…mad scientists…impeccable production…it’s classic Dolby!
Since Thomas has always had a penchant for pushing the envelope, it seemed only fitting to shoot the video with the latest cutting edge technology, which is why I chose Canon EOS 5D Mark IIs. I’ll be posting more about this soon. In the meantime…enjoy!
