Driving Song Music Video BTS: Kombi Appreciation Post

Our filmographer, Mike Conlon, leant us his gorgeous 1970s-era VW Kombi to use for the shoot. We’d been searching for a vehicle that stood out and captured those old-world vibes and it was love at first sight with this one. Being that none of us knew how to drive manual, we decided that Charlotte - as the eldest and one with some free time - should be the one to take on the task. She met with Mike once before the shoot to learn how to handle the van, and then spent some evenings practicing with friends in Sydney (but says it was still super scary going 80 down those winding roads!). The van scared us a bit when we over-filled the petrol tank, making us think she had broken down, but eventually got us every step of the way in style.

Driving Song Music Video BTS: Smiles on Set

This was a jam-packed day. We rose early and shot the opening scene in our driveway. We hit the road straight after, arriving at our first filming location by 11am. And by “location” we mean we pulled to the side of the road once the trees on either side started to get really thick and attached the windshield camera. We were so excited about this concept! Charlotte had her first turn at driving a manual on camera and reckons you can see how nervous she was on her face in some shots - haha! 

We followed the road around, basically letting the scenery do the talking. By lunchtime, we’d reached the last petrol station before the ferry and filled the Kombi’s tank until it overflowed... panic ensued but that old girl is tough and was good to go again after a short break - thank the Lord. We wedged both cars onto the ferry and soaked in the sun off the water and the sounds of birds. 

From the other side of the river, we set up the drone and had Mike control it from the back seat of the van with all three robins inside. It was his first time using one and we really threw him in the deep end, but he did an amazing job (proof is in the pudding!). This process of driving back and forth to get the best shots on the most beautiful sections of road took longer than we’d planned, and we ended up racing the last 30 minutes to beat the sunset to St Albans.

Once we got there, time was of the essence, so we shot the two scenes quickly - stopping to pat some peacocks - and then settled in for the final shot. We cracked open our snacks (chips, lollies, coke, the essentials for a roadtrip) and just let loose, laughing and joking about the day we’d had. 

The journey home was quicker and colder and we were all in such good spirits. Looking back, it was one of the best days of our year, particularly given all that happened with COVID. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Mike and spend some time with our good friends (turned crew members) Arman and Vašek. We hope you love the final result!

Stupid Little Girls, by The Fallen Robins

5 track album

[thefallenrobins]

This lyric gives me a small chill every time I sing it because it’s so unfiltered and true. It’s from Winter, the second track on our EP, which tells the story of a certain young woman’s experience with an older man. I wrote it to make sense of my own naivety and came out the other side feeling like maybe that wasn’t the problem. Between the gorgeous fiddle feature and fact that it gave the EP its name, it’s definitely the slow burn favourite song for me. ❄️✨ - Charlotte #1daytogo

Stupid Little Girls is available tomorrow.

[thefallenrobins]

I think Track 3, The Flood, is my favourite song off the EP for so many reasons. It reminds me that we all make mistakes, we all miss these cosmic signs every now and again; but I believe that although we’re sent down another path that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We adapt and we’re okay. 🌊✨ Plus, when we recorded this song we tried to eminate Green Day and above all else that was just really fun to do. - Jess #2daystogo

Stupid Little Girls is available this Thursday (12/11).
