Chris Knox's grungy but gorgeous single frame animation suits this mournful song perfectly. the sequence offering multifarious images of what “turning brown” might mean - from a deep tan to race-swapping - is a particular delight. The shot of Knox's daughter Leisha as a toddler, with the scratched in message "there is always hope" gives the clip a surprisingly poignant ending. In his ScreenTalk interview, Knox says it was a technical problem that led to him scratching the film in the style of his hero Len Lye.
