Synopsis:
A music video for the song 'Giant' by the band Albatross in which famous scenes from classic films are recreated. The members of Albatross play each role, which involves some cross dressing to play the female roles. The films recreated are: Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Psycho, The Good, Bad, and Ugly, The Graduate, and various Chaplin silent films. Every shot, costume, and location are as close to the originals as possible. Director's Bio:
As one half of Nouvelle Mode Films, Jerod Costa writes, directs and edits films that mix sordid surrealism, demented dark humor, and circus freaks. After toiling for many spells in various musical endeavours, Jerod found his way to the glory that is the cinematic eye. He co-founded Nouvelle Mode Films with his emotional and professional partner Melanie Kendrick and since then they haven't looked back. In early 2007, Nouvelle Mode was nominated for Best Horror Film at the Trail Dance Film Festival for their gritty neo-noir "Run For The Shadows". Soon after they took home the Best Narrative award at the 2007 Underexposed Film Fest for their campy send-up of 1950's life, "Go Out In Style". On the same night, another Nouvell Mode creation, the cross-dressing music video "Giant", picked up the Audience Choice and Best Music Video awards at the aforementioned festival. "Giant" has also been selected for the admirable Texas Show, and will be played at the closing segment of the 2007 Dallas Video Festival. With plenty more macabre and manical projects on the horizon...there's no stopping this cretin from hopping... |
