Company X & Sugarbox Go All Out For Fall Out Boy\u2019s \u2018Sixteen Candles\u2019 Music Video<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

New York – In pitching his approach to \u201cA Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More \u2018Touch Me\u2019,\u201d the latest video from MTV chart-toppers Fall Out Boy, Anonymous Content director Alan Ferguson asked the following question: \u201cSo, do you guys want a regular video or do you want an event video?\u201d It is clear, from both the anticipation surrounding the video\u2019s March 8 debut and the resulting accolades, that the band made the right decision. To pull off this 6:37 event, which is enjoying extensive airplay in its entirety, Ferguson called upon editorial house Company X (www.companyx.tv)and Sugarbox (www.sugarbox.tv) music and sound design. He collaborated with both companies on Fall Out Boy\u2019s previous outing, the smash hit vid for \u201cDance, Dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to cutting the clip, Company X founder Barney Miller co-created the project\u2019s sound design with Jeff Slutz of Sugarbox. Andrew Hollander, who founded Sugarbox early last year, composed an original score for the opening of the video, which has a monster-movie theme. In the clip, band members seek revenge against the undead, who have turned one of the guys into a vampire. \u201cTo contrast the song itself, I approached the opening score from more of a scary-movie, orchestral perspective,\u201d said Hollander, who used strings, orchestral percussion, and woodwinds to create the piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe song has a pop-y sound and we wanted a vid that would work in contrast,\u201d said Ferguson. \u201cPete (Wentz, the band\u2019s bassist) loves vampires and the movie Lost Boys\u2026we started thinking about gangs of vampires taking over a town.\u201d In November 2005, Ferguson drafted a treatment that included some touches unique to the band\u2019s taste and sensibilities. The finalized treatment was presented to Miller, for analysis from an editorial point of view. \u201cWe knew this clip would be three times the challenge of \u2018Dance, Dance\u2019 editorially,\u201d said Ferguson. \u201cThere were so many scenes, and it was so much more dense and intense, narratively speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the ride we had with \u2018Dance, Dance,\u2019 I was expecting something fun,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThe treatment was so ambitious, yet at the same time, once we agreed not to worry about the length, I was freed up to concern myself with the story, the \u2018mini-movie,\u2019 if you will.\u201d Miller added that the close collaboration among editor\/sound designer, composer, director, and band contributed to a smooth process for al involved.<\/p>\n

Miller and his assistant editor, Rob Mead, assembled each scene and, working with Sugarbox\u2019s Slutz, created the sound design, pulling sound effects and doing some Foley work with Wentz., who writhed on the studio floor to get his screams right. Apparently, it was worth the effort: music blogs are overflowing with female fans raving about the screams\u2019 sexual energy. Fall Out Boy vocalist\/guitarist Patrick Stump also came into the Sugarbox studio to lay down an original track he composed for the video\u2019s middle section, and to record a voiceover for the narrative. Robert Smith of Sugarbox engineered all the recording sessions on the proejct. \u201cThe first video was a bit more traditional in terms of the work with the band; this was more in-person, a wonderful collaboration with everyone, a genuine team effort,\u201d Miller said. \u201cAlan\u2019s creativity and willingness to explore myriad sounds and ideas added so much. All these elements meant lots of long nights, but it was worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA good amount of my time is spent scoring features and writing\/producing for rock bands, so it was nice to do something where those two came together,\u201d Hollander said. \u201cWe can have a fantastic session with someone a thousand miles away,\u201d he noted, \u201cbut this was more about everyone pitching in and being committed to a completely integrated process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video\u2019s martial arts element and fight choreography expanded based on former all-state soccer player Wentz\u2019s innate ability and training with fight choreographer\/stunt coordinator Malcolm Murray. \u201cPete is fearless with his body, and the other band members were so committed and dedicated in everything they\u2019ve done I knew they\u2019d work hard,\u201d Ferguson pointed out. \u201cWhen you use stunt choreography, so much depends on reacting to others. There was a stunt double on set, but Pete did 95 % of the stunt work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great that MTV responded so well to this piece, and that they aired it in its entirety,\u201d said Ferguson, who credits DP Danny Hiele with helping to create the look of the film. \u201cWe know that\u2019s very rare.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
