I LIFT MY HANDS by Lise / The Scarbrough Affair. Video directed by Gerard Lough. An office girl on a 'lost weekend'...Trivia: the night club featured is now closed / under new management. Hot Chip played a DJ set there on its last night...Helen also appears in the video for David Geraghty's 'Kaleidoscope'The 'kiss' was a direct homage to the 1983 David Bowie film 'The Hunger', directed by Tony Scott.Also heavily influenced by photographer Anton Corbijn's first music video 'Dr Mabuse' (for german group Propaganda) and 'The Chauffeur' by Duran Duran.My second video for The Scarbrough Affair, the first was 'Karma and Destiny' released the same year, here's the link...http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=5x6uQy0...The scene where Helen turns into her evil alter ego was achieved by a hidden cut when the camera whips over to the right. The same trick can be seen several times during the opening sequence of the film 'Strange Days' and my video for 'The Divine Beat'.Originally the video was to climax with a black mass sequence which was shot but was then left on the cutting room floor due mostly to the fact that I wanted a more ambivalent ending.The nifty black and white spider web T-shirts actually belonged to the director... and he hasn't seen them since! http://www.myspace.com/thescarbrougha... http://www.myspace.com/gerard_lough
