Columbiad

I've had the awesome opportunity to work with musician Massimo Ruberti for the past few months on a series of illustrated music videos for his album Autour de la Lune. The album is a 16-track suite based on Jules Verne's 1865 sci-fi novel, which follows the adventures of three 19th century astronauts who build a cannon to launch themselves to the Moon. 'Columbiad' is the first in a series of music videos that, when finished, will form a short film about our three heroes' fantastic journey through space. Here are a few stills for you: The music video has been making the rounds at film festivals in Europe - we even managed to get into the top 10 at the Cinemazero Festival in Trento, Italy. And - special bonus! - Autour de la Lune is free to download through Russian netlabel Elpa. So enjoy the clip, explore the album, and keep an eye out for future music videos!
