Veils Video ‘Calliope’

Now… What were we saying? Oh ya. We made some goddamn MTV.


Shot the video for ‘Calliope’ on the first weekend of April. Then did the post at Glassworks, a superb facility, on and off throughout the month. We owe them and a lot of people a big THANK YOU but especially Diego Vazquez Lozano who wore a lot of hats for this job and stayed up way past his bedtime more than once (Diego also worked with us on the AUDI project we directed in April. But we’ll tell you about that one later).

The Veils are a charming band and a joy to work with. Hope you enjoy ‘Calliope’. It’s a sweet sweet song. Perfect for summertime frolics for all the teenage alcoholics who never mind the bollocks.

Oh my! I think you two should make all the official video clips to every Cure song out there from now on and in retrospect. This is so enchanting!

I particularly love all the Nosferatuesque shadow dances on the walls. Great location too, btw.

Chapeau, messieurs, chapeau! :)

That’s not MTV…it’s something much more special. I love the way you’ve made everyone move all funny like, and it’s so fantastical…it really takes your breath away.

When can I have one? ;)

Beautiful video and I went and bought the song on iTunes! Ain’t that what the video is for?! Can you get the video on iTunes too? Good job guys. As already stated, the location is amazing, the filming and hurky jerky moves are cool (did you speed it up or slow it down?), the subtle illustrations and things floating around and off people are inspired. You just keep getting better and better! Keep it coming!
