Director Sanjiv Gopal and cinematographer Nathan Guy worked collaboratively with Close Counters to shape the fluid and youthful sounds of ‘Travel Treats’ into an audio visual spectacle. The joyful persona the track exudes is reciprocated flawlessly in the music video. A home movie aesthetic blends with crisp cinematography as charismatic characters promenade their way through the video’s flourishing aesthetic. The film’s cast were friends of Close Counters, and were encouraged style themselves in a way to best represent their identities. This organic and natural synergy is expressed through the video’s freedom of expression.
Sanjiv Gopal, Nathan Guy and Close Counters have captured the real authenticity of Melbourne’s creative youth.
