Oh Yeah Wow produces music video for All India Radio

Press release from Oh Yeah Wow

After an epic 6 months in the making, director Darcy Prendergast and the masterminds at Oh Yeah Wow have produced their second music video for All India Radio. Following up on the hugely successful Lucky, which won awards at St Kilda Film Festival, the ATOM awards, as well as a short-listing for the prestigious Guggenheim museum, this piece ‘puts Lucky to shame’

“We’ve just come so far since then – we’ve honed the craft. To be honest, Lucky was a lost meandering experimentation. I’d leave the studio as soon as night fell, shoot until my fingers were numb from the cold – and the whole time it was spontaneous creation. I never had a plan. Rippled is refined, precise and I think, a nice culmination of everything we’ve done over the years. It’s a completely different flavour but you watch the two side by side and you see progression, which is important for me. I like to see an artist evolve. Even If I hate their new direction at least they have the nerve. Rippled is the direct result of that and its something the crew and I are extremely proud of.”

Director, Darcy Prendergast (b. circa 1985) has always had imagination. After starting his artistic career on the living room walls, his parents supplied his chubby, yet surprisingly dexterous fingers with a wide gamut of art supplies, as well as a steady stream of paper. At the age of 4 he wanted to be a zookeeper and play with Tigers like his dad. At age 5 he wanted to be Indiana Jones, who was a cooler version of Dad. At 6 he wanted to be a paleontologist like Sam Neill in Jurassic Park – who was cooler than Indy because he outsmarted a T-Rex.

Then at the ripe ol’ age of 7, decided that his constantly shifting career paths were undoubtedly due to a poor understanding of the skillsets that he was endowed with. He opted to allow himself some time for his interests to percolate, manifest and remain before placing all his eggs in the one basket. With a keen sense for the absurd and a taste for the tactile, Darcy moved into the alluring world of film making at age 17, where he still lives to this day… He would still like to outsmart a T-rex.
