Pumpkin Phantom of the Opera: The Music Video
Contents
Check out our latest music video, Pumpkin Phantom of the Opera! This spooky tune is sure to get you in the Halloween spirit.
Introduction
Many people are unaware that the Phantom of the Opera was originally a pumpkin. This occurred during a lunar eclipse in the early 1800s. A group of witches were gathered around a cauldron, brewing a potion to turn a pumpkin into a legend. The potion required the blood of an opera singer, so the witches went to France and abducted Christine Daae.
The witches took Christine back to their lair and fed her some of the potion. Then, they placed her in a trance and made her walk to the edge of a cliff. The witches pushed Christine off the cliff, but she was saved by the pumpkin phantom. The phantom took Christine back to his home in the pumpkin patch and they fell in love.
The pumpkin phantom wanted to take Christine back to Paris with him, but she was worried that people would laugh at her because she was in love with a pumpkin. So, the phantom cast a spell on Christine that turned her into a pumpkin whenever she sang about their love.
The music video for Pumpkin Phantom of the Opera is set in France during the early 1800s. It tells the story of the pumpkin phantom and Christine Daae through operatic singing and interpretive dance.
The Making of the Video
I remember the day we decided to make a music video for our song, Pumpkin Phantom of the Opera. We had just finished recording the song and we were so excited about it. We knew we wanted to do something different and we wanted to make a music video that would be unlike any other.
The Idea
The idea to do a feature-length, fully-live-action, shot-for-shot remake of “The Phantom of the Opera” as a pumpkin grows out of a longstanding love of the source material and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical. We’ve always been impressed by how well the music works as stand-alone songs, unmoored from their original context. It seemed like it would be fun to see what would happen if we took that one step further and set the songs in new and unexpected situations. The pumpkin seemed like the perfect vehicle for this experiment.
It was also an opportunity to flex our CGI muscles and really push the limits of what we could do with live action and special effects. We wanted to see if we could make a convincing pumpkin that could act and sing; one that an audience could connect with on an emotional level.
The Team
The team behind the making of the “Pumpkin Phantom of the Opera” music video was a group of close friends who had a shared love for Halloween and musicals. The video was shot over the course of two weekends in October. All of the costumes and props were either made by the team or borrowed from friends.
The video was shot in black and white using a DSLR camera. The team wanted to create a vintage feel that would match the tone of the song. They also used special effects to make it look like the pumpkin was singing.
Overall, the team had a lot of fun making the video and are excited to share it with everyone!
The Location
The entire music video was filmed in one location- an abandoned house in North Hollywood, Los Angeles. The property had been abandoned for over 10 years and was the perfect setting for our “haunted house” theme. We filmed over the course of two days, and were able to get all of the shots that we needed.
The Filming of the Video
We started filming the music video for Pumpkin Phantom of the Opera last week. The video is about a group of friends who dress up as pumpkins and go to a Halloween party. We’ve been working on the script for months and we’re finally ready to start filming.
The Schedule
The filming of the video started on October 1st and ended on October 31st. We filmed mostly on weekends, but we did have a few weekdays where we were able to film as well. Weekday filming depended on everyone’s availability.
We started with filming the ” establishing shots”. These are the shots that would be used to help set the scene and atmosphere of the video. We filmed things such as pumpkins in a field, a close up of a jack-o-lantern, leaves falling, etc. We wanted to get these types of shots out of the way first because we knew that we wouldn’t be able to film them once it started snowing.
After we got the establishing shots out of the way, we moved on to filming the scenes with the actors. We had planned out what order we wanted to film the scenes in, so that is what we followed. We had a total of 7 different locations that we filmed at. One location was outside and the other 6 were inside locations. We tried to film most of the outside scenes first, again because of the weather.
Scene 1: This scene was filmed at an abandoned house. It is night time and our main character, Christine, is walking up to the house by herself.
Scene 2: This was filmed in a park. It is morning time and our main character is meeting her friends for a walk in the park.
Scene 3: This scene was filmed at an old church . It is afternoon time and our main character is going into rehearse for her music lesson .
And so on…
The Set
The set was in an abandoned theatre. It was the perfect place to film a music video for a gothic opera song. The theatre had been closed down for years and it was said that it was haunted. The crew did not believe in ghosts, but they could not deny that the place had an eerie feeling to it.
The set was dark and dusty. The stage was covered in cobwebs and there were rats running around. The crew did their best to ignore the rats and concentrate on setting up the set.
They hung black curtains around the stage and placed Pumpkins all around the theatre. Some of the pumpkins were carved into jack-o-lanterns and others were left whole. candles were placed inside of the jack-o-lanterns to give them a spooky look.
The crew placed a fog machine at the front of the stage and turned it on. Fog started to fill the theatre and it added to the eerie feeling of the place.
The filming of the video went smoothly and everyone was happy with how it turned out. The video was edited and then released online. It quickly went viral and pumpkin phantom of the opera became a Halloween sensation!
The Shoot
After a few hiccups and scheduling conflicts, we finally found a day where everyone was available to film. We met at the park around 10 AM and got set up quickly. We had a lot of ground to cover, so we got started right away.
We filmed the opening scene with the pumpkin carvings first. Then we moved on to the chase scene through the woods. After that, we filmed the scene where the pumpkin phantom is lurking in the shadows.
We wrapped up around 4 PM and everyone was exhausted, but we got some great footage!
