From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Shadowfeet" is artist/songwriter Brooke Fraser's seventh single, and her second single from her second studio album Albertine. It is also the opening track for the album. The song was released to radio in January 2007, and has currently peaked at #13 on RIANZ charts.[1] The song was announced as Fraser's second single to be released in Australia in August to coincide with her upcoming Australian tour.

[edit] Music Video
The video for Shadowfeet was directed by TWiN and shot in Sydney in mid-December 2006. It begins with Fraser standing on a street holding a camera. As she sings her way through the first verse, another person replaces Fraser in the shot as the chorus is reached. This replacement repeats many times throughout the video, with many people of varying ethnicities, ages, genders and cultures singing the song. Initially, the camera mainly concentrates on the individuals face, but during the second verse it drifts slowly down Fraser's body and then gives a side-view angle and stays that way until the bridge. The video ends with Fraser taking a portrait photograph looking in towards the camera and then turning away. The concept of the music video was "to capture the charm of a portraits photography book, with people all singing the same lyrics of the song. You know, we're all the same but different", according to a post at the directors' blog. Another interesting tidbit is that the entire video was shot on a single T1 50mm lens, the same lens around Brooke's neck, and many portrait photographer's lens of choice. [3]
