Green background, stop-motion: the new clip of Jesuslesfilles sends you to the hospital, its new music video.

Sometimes jokes between buddies that seem quite innocuous end up giving incredible results. This is the case, for example, for the song and the clip Hospital, by Montreal band Jesuslesfilles.

"We often kidding, says the director on the phone. In his songs, he often emphasizes certain words, which sound particularly good, like cinema or sweater. So I suggested that he include the word hospital in a song, because I thought it would be fine with his voice. "

The animated clip was shot in stop-motion on a green background. As it was difficult for the members of the group to stand so long on their skates, Robert had the idea to use a kind of lazy Susan, on which the actors were actually lying, in profile, and filmed from the top, giving the impression that they were standing up. So we see the group engage in a competition of extreme feats on rollerblades, which ends for a few at the hospital.

So that's how the song was written, taken from the third album of Jesuslesfilles, launched 10 years after the release of the band's first album, Une belle table. The group is today a figure in the French indie-rock scene, and counts among its ranks members of Ponctuation and IDALG.
