Garden gnomes and rock ‘n roll may seem an unlikely combination, but for Curtin student Amy Hetherington the Gnome bound Music Festival<\/em> seemed an obvious idea for a music video.<\/p>\n

Amy, a second year Journalism\/Film TV student, stumbled across Gnomesville outside of Dardanup in the state’s South-West.<\/p>\n

‘It’s just a bizarre place – filled with thousands of gnomes – and I thought, “We should totally film a music video here,”‘ she said.<\/p>\n

As luck would have it, she did just that – producing a gnome themed clip for her Music Videos and Advertising unit. The assessment was a group project, with the rest of the crew made up of Amy’s fellow students.<\/p>\n

‘I was the only second year student, the rest of the production team were all in third year, so I was really lucky to have some really experienced and really talented people behind me ‘.<\/p>\n

‘And being a class group production, everyone wants to get a good result, and I think everyone came together really well,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Set in a forest, the video highlights local band Sounds Like Bears’ single Between Lines<\/em>. Amy’s pleased the group did a good job for the band, which features her friend and fellow Curtin Student Ambassador Liam Pollock on lead guitar.<\/p>\n

‘We tried to get into the band’s head so it was as if they were just playing at a regular festival and they’d forget they were playing to a camera and a bunch of gnomes and just do what they do,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Amy said she really enjoyed the logistics and organisational challenges of producing.<\/p>\n

‘A lot of work went into pre-production, a lot my time went into organising things, and I really enjoyed facilitating so much talent and different skills. I was really lucky and happy to see that every thing worked out \u2013 it was amazing how everything came together,’ she said.<\/p>\n

‘I never really knew that I could do that.’<\/p>\n
