Following her promo for Big Deal last week, Camille Benett’s promo for indie darlings Binary (her second for the band) premiered on Nylon and NME.com.

“We created a cell of lights around the band, as well as the classic music video criteria of a car and hot girl dancing!” explains Camille. “We shot them using four different cameras, a fisher price pixel vision camera which records onto audio cassette, a VHS camcorder, 16mm Bolex and Red Epic which was pretty fun, if a little fiddly…”

Big Deal ‘Distant Neighbourhood’ by Camille Benett

After their video for Homework, Big Deal combine with Camille Benett again for the atmospheric Distant Neighbourhood, shooting the duo – Kacey Underwood and the photogenic Alice Costelloe – in Black Park near Pinewood.

“Driving through the woods to the lake was amazingly spooky in the dark with the trees lit up by the massive lights from the film productions going on in there at the same time,” says Camille. “As usual we had loads of fun making it, running through the woods with smoke flares and chucking Alice into the freezing lake – we even managed to get a pink cadillac in for good measure!”
