Interview with the Videoclip Director Filippo Chiesa
"I've known the Rather Unwise for what seems a lifetime. At the start I went to all their concerts, then by sheer chance I became their drummer and I stayed with them for a long time but that's another story.
My work in the cinema field often keeps me away from home and my old friends.
One day I got a phone call, I think from Paolo or maybe Luca, and, in virtue of the fact that I was once a member of the band and in this specific case I'm a dab hand with TV cameras and cine cameras, I was asked if I'd like to shoot a music video for the new Rather Unwise. "Why not?" I replied - I like reunions every now and then.
After a short meeting in my studio, we unanimously decided that the best track from the latest demo to make a video with was "Get Off", because of its freshness and punky sound.
The Rather Unwise have never had a clearly defined style - each member of the band has always brought along his own store of experience - and therefore they ended up playing "everything", that "everything" ranging from Punk to R n' B.
I remember that during the concerts, unlike many other groups, each of us dressed as we thought fit, and that's still true today.
Yes, the time had come to take a "purifying bath", if for no other reason than the look.
Backed by Emanuele, the new drummer, I explained to the band my idea for a rebirth: a neutral, uncontaminated environment (clearly visible in the video, I believe) where new ideas can be developed.
After someone's initial reluctance to put on the snow-white jumpsuits and after a few incidents during filming (like the sudden failure of a hard disk), I think I succeeded, together with and thanks to the Rather Unwise, in packaging a product that blends well with the different tastes and attitudes of all the members of the group."
