Due to my music video being more on the side of comedy, and taking many modern influences, the actual costumes of my actors are all contemporary modern outfits that you would likely be able to see just by going outside. However, in order to clearly show a Western theme I still made sure to include a small variety of Cowboy Hats for the actors to wear along with their modern outfits, creating quite a contrast in the process.

I chose this to be the protagonist’s hat, as it is the most distinct from the others, and would make him stand out more in the footage. I found this in a pile of old clothes being stored away in one of the closets around my house.

These two hats are the ones worn by the other people throughout the music video, including the antagonist. As I only had two of these, we had to swap around who would be wearing them in each scene, making it slightly more awkward. I took these both from Chiquito the last time that I went, as apparent by the logo on the hat on the left.

These two Nerf guns are the comedy props that we used to emulate actual weapons in the music video. The top one is used by the antagonist throughout the video, whereas the bottom is used by the protagonist. They were sourced by my friend Stephen, who was unable to make it on the day of the shoot, but still managed to provide these for me beforehand.

The final prop used was a BMX, meant to parody the horse from the song Big Iron, as the protagonist rides in on this as opposed to an actual horse, using this as his trusty steed instead. This is Gary’s own bike, which he brought along to help with the music video.
