Etch

Etch is a dance film choreographed and directed by Abby Warrilow & co-directed and edited by Lewis Gourlay. Etch was produced by Victoria Watson at Eyebolls and was funded by Creative Scotland. Winner - Best UK Dance Film / Screen.dance Winner - Innovator Award / Dallas Dance Film Festival Winner - Best Art Film / Caribbean Sea International Film Festival Winner - Best Choreography / Mardel Dance Film Festival Winner - Outstanding Choreography for a Lens, Utah Dance film festival Winner - Audience Choice Award, Utah Dance film festival Winner - Outstanding Special Effects, Utah Dance film festival Winner - Outstanding Editing, Utah Dance film festival Synopsis: A girl hikes across remote moorland. On a hill in the distance, stands a lone building, which she discovers is a long abandoned school hall. A little sun penetrates the dirty glass. An upright piano sits in the far corner. She takes off her muddy boots and with confidence in her gait, strides across to the piano and pulls it by one corner. The rusted wheels are jammed and it pivots, creating an arc. A line is carved in layers of compacted dust and the ancient wooden floor splinters with the weight of the instrument. In the centre of the room, hinged on one foot, she extends her leg and rotates swiftly and with graceful power. Her feet trace, etch and carve in circular movements, creating marks in the layers of dirt. Her body contorts. She throws herself in controlled but frenetic choreography. The movements increase in size and vigour as a pattern emerges. Finally she stands back to witness the impression her dance has etched on the floor.

The Magic Numbers - "You Don't Know Me"

Artist: The Magic Numbers Track: “You Don’t’ know me” Universal Music Director: Cagoule (Lewis gourlay & Abby Warrilow) Producer: Clare Kerr Director of Photography: Pete Warrilow 2nd Camera: Alan Stockdale Choreographer: Abby Warrilow Fight Choreographer: Malcolm Shields Editor: Lewis Gourlay Make-up: Sarah Cairncross Cast: Ross Cooper, Malcolm Shields, locals of “The Strathie” Commissioner Directors Rep: Debs Ramsey @ YI London The brief for the video was to create a character with a twist, the title of the track being “you don’t know me” so the band wanted us to play on the idea that you don’t truly know anyone. A great credit is due to the principal performer Ross Cooper who fulfilled this role impeccably. The location was unlikely venue of an old man’s pub in Cagoule’s home neighbourhood of Leith. “The Strathie”, as you’d expect, is unaccustomed to the world of music video. The residents however warmly embraced the film crew and London based pop rockers The Magic Numbers, even agreeing to play cameo roles in the video. Having shot our last music video on a frozen Scottish moor, we wanted to shoot a bit closer to home. In fact The Strathie is the closest pub to our office. We were thrilled to bring The Magic Numbers to our own backyard and they couldn’t have been more enthused, even playing an impromptu gig in the pub at the end of the shoot, to the delight of the locals. Some notes from Universal Music On Caetano Veloso's 70th Birthday Universal are releasing a tribute album similar to those done for Neil Young, Dylan, Lennon etc. 15 artists including The Magic Numbers, Beck, Chrissie Hynde, Mutantes, Devendra Banhart etc. chose and recorded a track written by Caetano to be included on the CD. The Magic Numbers track is from Caetano’s most acclaimed album –Transa. Music video by The Magic Numbers performing You Don't Know Me. (C) 2012 Universal Music Ltda
