Album Cover Art & Locations

The album cover below is a gag ad of sorts I made recently to advertise I was available to take new work.I guess it sort of takes a “dark humor” tack (?) … but I get a chuckle out of it 🙂

Location Scout Favorite Music Videos / Short Films

Herein, some of my favorite music videos that I have seen as time goes by (and of course evaluated from a location scout’s perspective 😉 I will update content in this post as opportunities allow.

Via Voce – From the Devil Himself

Title: From The Devil Himself

Artist: https://therobinsonsmusic.com/”>Viva Voce

Director: Moh Azima

Location Scout: U/K

Location Scout (me) Comment(s): kewl hippy / ’60’s retro look, playing off Lennon / Ono Bed-In

I hit pay dirt when Jo Van Hove sent me a heads-up that a there was a really kewl vid that had used a Locamundo location on Videology-TV!

In any case, I started surfing around Videology-tv and found From The Devil Himself by Viva Voce, directed by Moh Azima which is what this post is all about, so I guess if you read my website at all you might say I am “into” music videos lately!

I do realize I am risking diluting the “focus” of my website reviewing all these films lately, but it does, in fact, all have to do with location scouting and film production. If you work in the creative end of film production like I do I think you would know what I meant if I said, “I don’t watch films like ‘normal’ people do”, in fact, its a bus man’s holiday of sorts- I am always looking closely at the locations, lighting, camera angles used, lensing, directorial and actor’s techniques so-on and so forth, so, after I get finished being entertained picking something apart technically if I can still say I was entertained for the sake of being entertained, it was a good day! 😉

Ok. so here you have it, retro done right 😉 From The Devil Himself by Viva Voce:

About Viva Voce | THE (EXHAUSTIVE AND UNABRIDGED) LONG & WINDING STORY THUSFAR:

Kevin & Anita Robinson make the sounds.

The sounds (Vee-vah-VOH-chay) are Italian for “word of mouth” and prophetically prove many would neither be able to spell or prounounce the name.

Viva Voce indeed.

Band: Lyapis Trubetskoy

Director: Aliaksei Tserakhau

Location Scout: U/K

Location Scout (me) comments: this video appears to be mostly flash animation; so not too sure how much location scouting or shooting on location was involved. Came out kewl tho 🙂

«Capital» Lyapis Trubetskoy from Alexey TEREHOFF on Vimeo.

surrealistic pop-art with a cynical view on world politics created in high energy frames for pop music channels. could the apocalypse be near? tried and tested technologies with deadly
composing and a pint of morphing for good measure.

LYRICS:

I eat for dinner golden bullions
Diamond dessert and oil cream
My name of Beelzebub
The master of the stratosphere
Im so gratefully cool my respects without measure

refrain:
In my left hand Snickers in my right hand Mars
My PR manager is Karl Marx
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!

I eat your cities and drink your oceans
My beard is obscuring the sky
Thunders and lightnings, fogs and rains
My shoes are licked by ministers and chiefs

refrain:
In my left hand Snickers in my right hand Mars
My PR manager is Karl Marx
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!

My face Madonna, in a rotten pear
Everyone on your knees!
The orchestra, flourish!
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
