Brutal Hearts video premiere

Here is the video (actually, director Bruce McDonald made TWO versions) for Bedouin Soundclash feat. Coeur de Pirate's Brutal Hearts. You can read an article about the video here. Also, my previous post about the making of the video is here. May I suggest that you watch the videos on fullscreen as they are beautiful!



This is the second version of the video, which I LOVE... mostly because the skeleton dancers are featured and I loved them.



finally, here is a behind the scenes video:

Brutal Hearts video shoot

I had a great time hanging out with my friends Bedouin Soundclash and Coeur de Pirate shooting the video for Brutal Hearts. This one is directed by the legendary Bruce MacDonald and I was quite thrilled to be working with him. My job seldom feels like work and this day was no exception! I did Beatrice and Jay's makeup first... here they are being silly:



and here is the lovely Miss Bea:




The following afternoon we shoot in a park in Kensington Market. This park is FULL of local characters, which was hilarious and provided us with much entertainment:



The video includes 5 dancers, and the skull makeup was inspired by the movies The Warriors and Dead Presidents with a bit of a tribal/voodoo/New Orleans/Día de los Muertos vibe thrown in.

I love this shot of Eon & Sekou:

Looking forward to seeing the video... the song is one of my favorites. So happy to be able to be part of it!!
