In my last post I shared some behind the scenes moments from a recent shoot.
I’m pleased to share the final piece right here Paradise Lost ‘Tyrants Serenade
It’s racked up 653,000 views in 1 month on YouTube which isn’t bad going for a goth doom band these days eh?
The song is absolutely huge with giant melodies and booming drums and crunchy guitars.
Making this video was a relatively straightforward process. I had a clear vision of what the art direction should be, as well as the tone in visual aesthetic details and pace.
The silhouetted shots against the godrays of the light between the crumbling cracks in the walls were the vision. From there it was about an authentic execution.
The performance shoot was as usual a one day event, due to band availability due to being mid-tour (lets face it, video shoots are always a shoehorned non-priority in the grand scheme of a bands existence and purpose! 😆)
I guess it was roughly 1.5 hours with each band member, which was probably enough as evryone was tired out from the show the night before.
I’m really pleased with the blue tones mixed with the warm light, I feel like we captured a cold cabin vibe with a genuine wintry feel, that a few YouTube commentators expressed too.
I chose a wintry feel ahead of autumn landing which inspired some seasonal comments about how some folk are looking forward to the winter months ahead.
What kind of vibe did this song and video give you?
Are YOU ready for Winter??
