Film score and music video

Our good friend Jaakko Vilpponen, a student at the SF Academy of Art, is making a 16mm music video for Shores! He came up with a basic story and collaborated with me on sets and props, and Shores are writing a new song called "Conver" to perform to his storyboard.

We'll be using The Undertakers' performance space in the Richmond, recyling some of the sets from their recent Haunted House and building a couple new ones to boot. We're in the process of rehearsing the song, and will be recording it in a couple weeks. Filming is this weekend and the storyline is mesmerizing.

The basic idea is that the main character, played by me is a kind of musical monster alien who's been commissioned by an unnamed protector to rescue four office workers from their drab mundane lives and use music to convert them also into monsters. A lot of friends and fellow artists are collaborating on the filming, sets, and projections; below are some shots of a couple of the sets, from photos of the Haunted House. Stay tuned soon for more on this exciting project!
