VIDEO
Ghost Of LAs Vegas
October 2023- Video directed by Klaus Karloff to celebrate Halloween 2023.
There are some moments in life when one feels like a ghost. As such, the initial idea for this video was to illustrate this feeling of how we can feel alone even when surrounded by other people, like ghosts roaming in a casino.... in Las Vegas...
This video was shot in France (Paris, Belfort, Besancon), Australia (Melbourne, Dandenong Ranges, Belgrave, Bellingen), Washington (USA) and Ubud (Bali) and incorporates extracts from the first "Phantom of the Opera" movie, released in 1929 and directed by Rupert Julian.
Carpe Noctem
August 2023- Video directed by Klaus Karloff who here invites viewers to an imaginary road trip... Or witnessing the moment when ones drive to seize the night becomes an obsession and takes control.
Road scenes have been shot in New South Wales and Victoria (Australia), scenes inside the car -with Laur and Charles- in Besancon (France) and ghostly apparition of the beautiful Inga Liljestrom in Belgrave (Australia).
Additionally there is extracts from a police embedded camera (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6Mib4q16DQ) and views of Bonnie and Clyde’s Death car. Here's an article from "Punk Head" on the making of this song.
21st Century Dogs
May 2023- Video made by Klaus Karloff, with image shot by Amelia-Moon, Laur and Charles Why. The plot is to understand what the World looks like through the eyes of a dog...before and after said dog decides to bite the hand that feeds and revolts against the masters. All under the -not so helpful- eyes of Golem Dance Cult. Additionally Klaus used the screen as to make the protagonist crept at you, involving the viewer in a direct way. The video includes reference and extracts to/from: "Night of the Living Dead" by George A Romero; Le Chien Andalou" by Luis Buñuel; Wolf Blood a Tale of the Forest" by George Chesebro.
