there you go, here is the first Scissor Sisters video.



and here's a small behind the scenes:

sooo, we delivered the first Scissor Sisters video (which will be premiering tomorrow) and now we're in NYC for post on the second one. after work, we dedicate ourselves to getting to know the city a little better. an interesting fact we discovered is that new york girls are many, they are incredibly beautiful and the ritual mating dances they do to attract males are really weird.

get your wallets ready

very happy to be sitting on a comfortable sofa in the editing bay after having shot both Scissor Sisters videos, with no racing against time and no dust getting into my lungs. aahh, such a good feeling. first video will have to be delivered soon, the other one needs a massive amount of post production love which will be given in NYC during the month of April.
luckily no animals or humans were hurt during filming (we had a few close calls, but let's leave that for the making of). so it's good, you know. below are a couple pics from the shoots.





and as a nice "oh-wow-look-at-this-coincidence-means-we're-going-in-the-right-direction" moment here's a picture of the wine we're sipping right now as the editor synchs some cuts to the lyrics:

postcards from a Scissor Sisters test shoot.

when i was about 11 i used to go with my mom to the public library. when there, we would set a rendezvous time and place, and each one would go attend their own business. she would go browse through books for her school teachings and personal readings, and i would go straight to the comics section, every time looking for the same letter. M. the ridiculous amount of anticipation i was feeling would be transformed into a cathartic experience if it turned out that a new book from Moebius had arrived. i would sit there and look at the drawings and be transported to a place so far away that i would always forget to go back for the rendezvous, and my mom would have to come pick me up (she knew where to find me of course).

"We artists can only go so far as the people can follow us. We are not alone, we are part of the system. We can take risks, but if you want to go to the peak of your consciousness, you may very well find yourself alone. Even if you know how to translate what you see, maybe only ten people will be able to understand what you tell. But, if you have faith in your vision, and retell it again and again, you will start noticing that, after a time, more people will begin to catch up with you."

rest in peace, and thanks for the endless inspiration.

Moebius * 1938 / 2012

here is a great blog completely dedicated to him and his work.

juopjmhklg ffsd fds ddwer wxc. hg. sorry, my hands were sweating a lot and i had to go wash them. looks like the universe doesn't only want me to take random serendipitous pictures in the street, it also seems it wants me to make videos for big pop bands. i will be directing not one, but two videos for Scissor Sisters. very excited.
by the way, the art director on one of the videos will be, you guessed it, my buddy Luca Zamoc. i know, boring. same collaborators all the time. but now i am starting to understand why directors work with the same people all the time: first, you just need a glance to understand each other. second, it's great to work with awesomely talented people. third, it's so damn fun. all this redundant gibberish was meant to be an introduction to Luca's new website. check it out.

dear Lord Jesus, i know you probably won't like this picture, but i wanted to thank your father for creating the universe and for letting it donate me such a serendipitous camera opportunity.
