Grieves, "Against The Bottom"
2011
Film, Creative Direction, Production
The video for "Against The Bottom" is a contemplation of youth and love and the ephemerality of both. The feel and visual style of the video were designed to accompany Budo’s warm and sunny backing track while countering Grieve’s confessional lyrics, with the lifestyle depicted serving as a preface to the content of the song.
