Influenced by retroism - we wanted to include a vinyl/player as we were lucky enough to have access to a working one and thought it would be a good feature in our video as it is less common to have this feature.
Oasis' video for Wonderwall was the only example of this I could find so it was a relatively fresh idea to think of as decks are being used in night clubs now for indietronica itself. We also like the idea of bringing old music memorabilia into a new/futuristic genre.
As to not damage the record player, we will shoot the footage of a vinyl player spinning at the friend's house. The last time we tried shooting in a house, the lighting and quality was poor so we simply plan to film this section when we get a bright day.
