New animation video for Davey Beige 'Rise Above'
Hamilton film and comic maker Aaron Christiansen has recently created a cool stop-motion video for the Davey Beige ‘Rise Above’ single.
Aaron has a long history of involvement in New Zealand comics, publications and music. Previously he has organised the Hamilton Zinefest. In film and television he has storyboarded and animated the show Bro` Town and the music video for Fat Freddy`s Drop ‘Roady’.
He has recently completed storyboards for the US horror film Z Dead End starring genre veterans Kane Hodder and Felissa Rose.
The heart warming and innovative ‘Rise Above’ music video is Aaron’s directorial debut and is available for viewing on YouTube.
‘Rise Above’ is all about taking stock in life and realising that the best way to deal with personal issues is to open up to the healing and redemptive power of LOVE!
Following the ‘Rise Above’ single and video, Davey’s new EP of the same name is set to drop in May 2022. The four songs on the EP are shaped by his recent passion for synths and drum machines. Davey collaborated on the music with experienced producer and musician Zed Brookes. The result as Davey describes the EP is ‘electro-rock’.
Davey Beige is a singer-songwriter who plays folk, blues, rock and electro-rock. At one time over a dozen beige suits filled his wardrobe. A majority of this historic menswear collection featured fawn safari suits and these were the genesis for his stage name. Previous releases are “Fold In Two” - Full-length album, 2007; “Hard Work” - Four track EP, 2014; “Beginner's Mind” – Full-length album, 2017.
