Wild One: Tamara & the Dreams - Fleetwood Mac
Lovers of the seventies (and from the seventies) rejoice! This week's Wild One is a love song blast from decades past from Naarm local Tamara & The Dreams, 'Fleetwood Mac'.
Shot on 16mm film across locations including Fitzroy jaunt The Pinnacle, St George's Road and co-director Bridgette Winten's studio in Northcote, the music video for 'Fleetwood Mac' is as retro inspired as its name might suggest. With kaleidoscopic VFX, big shiny boots and some swooning across a tweed settee, Tamara & the Dreams' (and fellow co-director) Tamara Reichman channels her inner Stevie Nicks as she croons 'We could be in love just like Fleetwood Mac'.
'Live Stevie Nicks performances were referenced to get us into the zone!' confirms Bridgette. 'We loved the grungy, dramatic and raw feeling of them. We also wanted the video to ooze a sense of camp euphoria, which was brought to life through Tamara's vibrant, bold performance as well as multiple outfits paired with fun, colourful accessories.'
'This song is about getting my heart pulverised musically and emotionally' says Tamara on her social media 'but really it's about how much playing in a band and being part of a music community has shaped my life, my friendships, my hopes and dreams.'
