Panther and the Zoo – Don’t Think
Latest music video from Panther and the Zoo – directed by Sam Muirhead.
“This video is Sam Muirhead’s love letter to his new hometown of Berlin. He directed the thing from the seat of a bike, dragging Graham around the city in a trailer – up hills and through trains. He never rode a bike again.”
David Dallas – Take A Picture
For this video, seven different directors (Campbell Hooper, Veronica Crockford-Pound, Sriwhana Spong, Ralph Matthews, Luke McPake, Robert Wallace and Joel Kefali) interpreted seven different segments of the song and “each scene was to be shot on a different format: 16mm film, VHS, Stop Motion, 3D animation, and during the creation of the video, the directors were not allowed to know what each other were doing”.
Look he has a kitten!

Still my favorite song from their album and, watching this clip, I’ve been reminded just how great Street Chant are…
The clip was directed by Andrew Moore and shot by Stuart Page. Moore and Page have worked on many clips together (3Ds, Nothing At All!, Exponents, D4, Loves Ugly Children) and, apparently jumped at the chance to work with the band.
The clip was shot in the Coromandel using a combination of digital HD and vintage 16mm lenses.
