Vetrozero is an up-coming band from my hometown of Trento, Italy. They are currently in the process of fixing the last details of their meticulously produced debut album. The trio comprehend Glauco Gabrielli (vocals, guitar), Daniele “Ginepro” Bonvecchio (drums) and Alessio Zeni (bass).

Glauco contacted me already in September with the idea of making a video and, after a few weeks of brainstorming (which also included Glauco’s good friend and lighting technician extraordinaire Davide Pedrotti) we came up with the idea of the cage, the fluorescents, le UV paint/lights and the snails.

Having a budget very close to zero, to get a hold of a huge cage covered by almost a hundred red fluorescent bulbs was incredibly challenging; in fact every single fluorescent lamp that you see, we built it from scratch: all the bulbs came from waste deposits (Glauco managed to get over 200) then bought the spare parts and assembled/wired them one by one. This made it much more affordable than buying the regular fluorescent light system they sell in the stores. As you might have figured, this was one TEDIOUS job and if it wasn’t for all the people that dedicated their free time to help us, Glauco and myself would be still wiring the bulbs by now. Thank you all very much!

You really should check out Vetrozero at myspace.com/vetrozero they are quite an exceptional band, and some of the most inventive and dedicated people I’ve ever worked with.

Damn fine work!

Well, done! This is a great video. Actually, I already rated the video and gave my feedback. But I just read the blog post (and checked out the sketches and photos), and I watched the video again. Killer!
