Austin Band Royal Forest Creates New Music Video With Vine Clips

Austin band Royal Forest’s new music video was created with 1,000 Vine clipsThe Austin indie rock band, Royal Forest, who we featured as a Breakout Band of 2013 on IRC’s main site, have just released a new music video that features a collection of six-second clips taken with the popular video app Vine.

Known for their experimentation with web-based technologies and apps, and how they can be applied in new and exciting ways to feature their music, Royal Forest used over 1,000 six-second clips of Vine app videos shot with an iPhone in different locations and settings to create their latest music video for their latest single, “Keeping Time.”

The band has experimented previously with recording and shooting videos on planes, across deserts and even underwater in submarines. The band calls their “Keeping Time” video a “beautifully kaleidoscopic ode to social media.” It’s also an ode to their infectious style of music as the song and video, premiered on their official YouTube channel, so wonderfully illustrate. As far as we know, no other artist or band has created a music video made up entirely of short Vine videos.
