A music video made in Tayside for folk scene pioneers has been nominated for a top industry award.
Dundee-London film company Flyboy Creative’s video for the Pigeon Song, by local band Anderson McGinty Webster Ward and Fisher, is in the running for a gong at the 21st Raindance Film Festival.
The screening will take place on September 27 and Flyboy will be making to trip to attend the festival.
Producer John Fairfield said: “In early 2012, I was approached by the band’s manager, Grant Dickson.
“The band was looking to produce a music video for their album track Pigeon Song.
“The track is about Christopher McCandless, the American hiker who ventured into the Alaskan wilderness in search of a simpler life and solitude.”
Dave Webster of the band said: “I’m delighted with the video and the work that the Flyboy team have done and at the inclusion at a world renowned event such as Raindance.
“The video captured the importance of youth and the freedom of choice which was the inspiration for the music in the first place.”
Mr Fairfield and director Matt Cameron run the company between Dundee and London, and it has been running for five years.
Its origins were in Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, where most of its crew studied.
Flyboy have established themselves as international talents, receiving recognition in Phoenix, Melbourne, Berlin and Singapore, along with multiple awards and BAFTA nominations.
Mr Fairfield said the video had some heavy-hitting cinema as its inspiration Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 fantasy, The Seventh Seal.
He said: “The idea for the video was to feature that spirit of adventure that most people long for in their everyday life, but never follow.
