South African Hard Rockers OOOTH release the video for Departures
Johannesburg based rocker unit Oooth, led by renowned South African drummer and musician Jason Oosthuizen release the video for Departures the opening track of their new album Nothing’s Gonna Change.
"The song, I would think, will resonate with many people trying to escape from somewhere or something that they feel is holding them back, but thinking of the personal and important things or people you might need to leave behind in the process." – Jason
This video is quite chaotic, with all the elements shot in one day. The location also brought an interesting element as they drove through the outskirts of Pretoria with over an hour of farm land and eventually found this gem. The shoot had to also end early as Jason nearly passed out from running around and moving in all directions.
