5 (grown up) kids, 1 Van, 3500 Km, 6 Countries, 9 Venues, a lot of people, a border Policeman... This time I decided to bring my "being a photographer" with me, but hanging out with a band on tour only allows limited equipment... and this is what came out
videomaking
"On this first cold day of December, Dying Scene delights us with the brand new video by the Bologna based skate punk band "Linterno"..." And this is how the net is calling the news. http://dyingscene.com/news/linterno-punk-premiere-music-video-for-outatime/ On another cold day (of February...) the band (in which I play guitar and sing) spent a couple of days around our […]
In the early days of this summer, when nobody was aware of how dissimilar from the wonderful season we all are used to enjoy, me and Claudio Stanghellini drove our equipment in Romagna to shot the brand new video of Italian Punk Rock Heroes: the Marsh Mallows.Alluminum Dust, thousands of watts in lights, dancers all […]
I wrote about this few days ago and finally here is how the story goes on: Three days ago Tim Vantol updated his facebook status... So during our stay in Italy we had the honor to work with the 2 great guys Claudio Stanga Stanghellini and Lorenzo Piano, who shot an awesome video of Bitter Morning Taste. […]
If you ever watched "Almost Famous", or you've been lucky enough to live or work in the music scene, you definitely know how incredible is the people who crowds it: magnetic personalities, composers able to transmit the mood of the song, drummers with dummers' humor and writers who seem to have transcript your thought. Unfortunately […]
Finally Altre di B's Video is online Just like the last time, shooting was held in impervious weather conditions (Remember the video we did for Whales' Island?), across the city and on its white hills. As usual, I've been in charge for direction of photography and shooting. The storyboard follows tightly the song's lyrics, telling the story of […]
Indelirium records finally released the final edit for Whales' Island "Opening Words" video clip. As some might remember the shooting of the videoi took place in early february, while Bologna was facing a snow storm and the edit and direction were in the hand of Stanga. In these warm days of springtime it's fun to […]
While springtime seems finally on the way, Stanga, is spending the best days of this winter editing on his workstation. One month and 20° centigrades away from the shooting days in early february our stakanovist is almost ready with the final cut of Whales' Island "Opening Words" Video. To cut the wait, he even spent some […]
In the middle of the winter, while Bologna is facing one of the most aboundant snow falls of the past 100 years, "Whales' Island", Sicily's pride, met in the city to shoot the video of their "Opening Words" from new EP "Chronicles of Pretenders"; Stanga, enrolled as director, entrusted me the role of Director of Photography. We […]
Finally it's out! Few hours and it's already over 100 views. If I think back to the shooting days, being the director of fotography in a video you act in is far easier than be the photographer of your own band's promo shooting. And there are all the pros of team working! Enjoy!!!
The work for the edit of the video of my band (Linterno) is almost over. The final cut of the video will be finally out on december 15 2011. Stay tuned for updates)
Today Stanga published on his Vimeo the final edit of the video of the song "Ink Stains and Incidents" by From Plan to Progress. Here's the video (I'm protesting right now for the missing credits)
