NEW RELEASE: My Chemical Romance - Marc Webb, director

My Chemical RomanceMy Chemical Romance "Ghost Of You" Reprise/Warner Bros.
Marc Webb, director
Hagai Shaham, producer
DNA, production co
Max Goldman, DP
Description: Not satisfied with having made two of the more creative and popular videos of the past year, My Chemical Romance and Marc Webb reunite for their most ambitious clip yet. Not only does it expertly recreate the WWII milieu, "Ghost Of You" also successfully performs the trickier task of capturing the emotions of the characters. The gents of My Chemical Romance are seen performing and sharing drinks at a USO dance. The tone is one of anticipation, of knowing that they might not see their loved ones, or each other ever again. The video then cuts to a sequence in which the band and their fellow soldiers storm a beach. It's a gritty recreation inspired by Saving Private Ryan in that it looks incredibly realistic and the outcome isn't what you'd expect.

NEW RELEASE: Metric "Monster Hospital"

the horrorMetric "Monster Hospital" Last Gang
Micah Meisner, director
Nick Sorbara, producer
Revolver Film Co, production co
Description: Metric singer Emily Haines is besieged by terrible nightmares in this spooky b&w homage to classic horror flicks. She dreams she's a patient in a "Monster Hospital," where hands attack her from all angles and her bandmates have been turned into bloody zombies. In the end she wakes up and realizes that she's safe and sound. The lyrics are a play on Bobby Fuller's classic, "I Fought The Law," but reworked as the nightmarishly defeatist, but unfortunately true complaint, "I fought the war, but the war won."
