Photos from a Stormy Set

In spite of the many (technical) difficulties we had on the set of L'anno del temporale (The Year of the Storm), what comes out from the photos downhere is fun. And a relaxed - though phisically limited - environment.
Many thanks to photographer Stefano Druetta, who once again documented the work our amazing crew did on set.
These images are from the first day of shooting, when we got most of the footage from the band.

L'Anno del Temporale - Storyboards (partially) revealed

Here thee are a few drawings from the storyboards of my last music video.
I already spoke about it a few times, and I thought it's now time to reveal a bit of it.



Considering the song is about a youthful love story described as a storm, I decided to keep the typical elements of a storm as characters.



All I can add is that there is a tiny theatre, the band (La Bottega di Musica e Parole, Warner Chappell)is occupying its backstage and there's also a small group of valiant theatre workers. And yes, there is the love story too, as the song requires...

Two brand new works!

So...I disappeared for two months but I have plenty to tell. Though now I have to keep it short: in between December and January I shot a new music video (the anticipated L'anno del temporale) which is now ready, and a short film currently in post-production, whose working title is Vampyre Compendium and starring actors Oona Chaplin (Quantum of Solace) and Vincent Montuel (Molière). I am very happy of them both!
The music video tells about an impossible love story happening inside a little theatre and the short film is about...well...vampires, of course! Nothing to do with the Twilight ones, though: it actually revives the good old Victorian atmosphere of old school movies and of the XIX century novels of the genre....with irony and a few twists. So get prepared to see cobwebs, Victorian laces and long black cloacks!
Soon will come photos from the sets as well as a few drawings from the storyboards.
See you very soon.
