Dead By Wednesday caught our attention recently with the release of their new animated stop-motion music video for the single “Mars in Exile.” The story and concept for the music video were inspired by the drummer’s 8-year-old son, Orion St. Lawrence. He put his creative talents to use by designing the building brick band characters and shooting some of the footage.
The video was directed by Sal DelGreco, who also performed all of the voice acting with Paul Stamper perfecting the animation. During the guitar solo, footage shot by St. Lawrence was projected onto the screens. The single is taken from the band’s latest album “Capital Conspiracy,” which was released last summer, and is available in stores and online music platforms.
