Fun shot from a recent Dead Bury Dead shoot I had the other week. Shot a short film that day as well, expect that within a month or two. Click the photo to view larger.

Ingredients -

One giant blanket acting as a cheap 4×8 flag.

Three lights

One smoke grenade (note – obtain more next time. They don’t last long)

Various mixed surplus war apparel.

Fake blood and soot

One killer cigar.

Mix well in an empty field area, bake at ISO 100 400 and pick the best shot for final promotional use. Season to taste.

They seem to be blowing up, I figured it would happen. Just today for example, I went and checked out a video review from gamespot.com on the game Borderlands and a Cage the Elephant song was playing throughout the entire review.

I did a shoot with Cage the Elephant earlier this year, was part of a Sony/Red Summer Music Guide/Mini AP magazine. I had one of the four covers, we did the shoot (stressfully!) at Bamboozle east. Had twenty minutes with the band to pull off two looks, and while it ended up being more like 1 1/2 looks, it came out well.

Here is my favorite photo from the shoot, it’s also posted on my website under the “music” section. They’re coming through Atlanta November 21st.
