The Birthday Massacre and Las Vegas
July 8th, 2010
Directors Michael Falcore and Rodrigo Gudino flank The Birthday Massacre
This week I took part in the new music video for a Toronto band I’ve admired called The Birthday Massacre. The video, which is for the song In The Dark from their upcoming album Pins & Needles (out September 14 on Metropolis Records), was co-directed by yours truly and guitarist Michael Falcore.
The Rue Morgue Cinema crew lent their talents and expertise and we managed to get the entire thing done in a couple of days despite recurring fears that we might have to cut a scene. This was my first music video (and Mike’s directorial debut) but the energy was great and the footage came out amazing! The video co-starred Lea Lawrynowicz (from The Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow) and featured the practical effects of Rue Morgue columnist James Fisher who created the props. Walter Pacifico who shot The Eyes of Edward James was behind the camera and Rue Morgue Cinema’s Marco Pecota produced. The video is currently in post and is full of homages to the late great horror films of the 1980s.
