Turning back time with Taxi Violence's latest vid

14 Oct 2010

I really like Taxi Violence's time-bending, Frankenstein-esqe music video for "The Turn". I don't think it is really meant to be viewed as comedy and is probably meant to be more touching and heartfelt, but I can't help cracking a chuckle after watching it. Maybe I have a rather twisted sense of humour, but, either way, it's a fine piece of work that really complements the yearning lyrics.

Produced by Enigma Ace Productions, photographed by Greenhaus Films DOP, Christian Denslow, and directed by up and coming director Ryan Kruger (the winner of Taxi Violence's direct our music vid competition), the video tells the tale of an old man who tragically loses his wife in a car accident. Driven slightly demented by grief, he sets about inventing a time machine to take him back to the day of the accident so that he can save her. Unfortunately, things don't go to plan and the old man, in an unhappy twist of fate, becomes the reason for her death.

Wait, I just watched it again and now I feel quite sad and even a little teary (poor old man). This video deserves a couple of views to appreciate it fully.
