Endeavor directing/producing duo Steve Hoover and Danny Yourd have delivered their fourth promo for Owl City (aka singer/songwriter Adam Young) - this time working closely with the team at the Animal production company in Pittsburgh. 
In their most ambitious project yet, this "Mad Max/Space Odyssey journey into a post-apocolyptic future" was shot over three days in California including a day on the back lot at Fox, a day at Salton Park, and another at Anzo Borrego State Park.
"There was actually only one space suit," explains Danny. "It was created to fit both Adam and Shawn. For the rapper, we altered the color of it in post. Also if you look closely, every light on the suit is lit up in the shots, for the most part that was all done in post as well. We had to track in the lights for each one"
Alligator Sky is from Owl City's new album All Things Bright And Beautiful (June 14).

Endeavor's third video for US metal act The Devil Wears Prada comes hot on the heels of their promo for Owl City's Vanilla Sky.
Largely made from still photos, the band gave the team virtually carte blanche to do what they wanted. "This time around they came to us and told us what they didn't want" says producer Danny Yourd. "It's very abstract, no real meaning behind the visuals - although a lot of people are forming their own meanings. The actor is a friend of ours who was willing to shave every hair on his body to play the role and the female is part of a local circus group in Pittsburgh called the Zaney Umbrella Circus.

"It's always a great feeling to get to work with a band several times - we enjoy working with TDWP. The guys gave us a lot of freedom with this video, which we ran with. We're extremely excited to get to share this with all of their fans".

For the follow-up to the worldwide chart-straddling Fireflies single, Owl City were only too happy to work with Endeavor Media again on Vanilla Twilight.
Shot in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, producer Danny Yourd had this to say about the extraordinary promo:
"The lighthouse is in Marblehead, Ohio on Lake Erie. The lake was frozen for about 100 yards out which allowed us to walk out onto the ice and get some beautiful shots that wouldn't have been accessible otherwise. Most of the talent are friends and family.

"The skies were created from scratch in a 3D program - so all of the skies were replaced. We had to push the shoot back a week because we had a blizzard where it snowed two or three feet. But because of that, we had snow covered landscapes everywhere, which aided tremendously to the video!
"That is Shaq O'Neill [the basketball player] in the video - he made a special cameo because Owl City singer Adam loves him (not sure why)".
