Photographer's Journal: Protest The Hero

Photographer and Toronto resident JESS BAUMUNG takes us behind the scenes of PROTEST THE HERO‘s video for "Spoils" off their 2008 full-length, Fortress.




"I was asked if I could take photos behind the scenes on the shoot by the video producer, Geoff McLean. Filming took place on Sunday, February 22 and was mostly filmed in one room at Knox College in Toronto. I got there just after 8 p.m. and they had just begun filming about a half-hour before that. They had a wall of lights set up behind the band which displayed different patterns and effects throughout the shoot. They finished filming all the performance stuff with the band by about 3 a.m. Protest The Hero left about a half-hour later, but the crew still had to film other parts for the video (with live snakes) later than 4 a.m."
