Harlem Shakes eyeing Strictly Game video

Directed by Supermarché from the album, Technicolor Health.

The past two months have not been going well for the band. Their van was robbed in early June and with the expected clothes and equipment pilfered, some extra strings were also stolen. They also had to cancel their July shows in the UK for reasons not stated.

At first glance the video looks homemade, it even includes the typical Windows Movie Maker opening. Then what appears to be a slideshow of still photography turns out to be greatly composed video snippets with the slightest(purposeful) movement betraying the photo look. One forgets how the composition of an image immediately defines it as either a video or photograph.
