Blackpool- "Dissolve"
  • Director: Amanda Laws
  • Year: 2009

Music Video for the goth rock group, Blackpool. The lead singer, Melody, enters the music video as a restrained doll who is released from her box by her dominate owner. He proceeds to decorate her, dress her up, and entertain. At the end of the music video Melody awakens from the inanimate doll to human life as the male band members transform into the inanimate dolls.
Sketches and ideas for video
The furniture elements and doll box were custom-made to compliment a doll house feel.
The doll box was designed to safely hold the lead singer as she is moved around the space.
The choice of the aqua/blue/balck wash was an important color element in the background of the video.
The added fabric, carpet, and light fixtures helped set the mood for the goth band.
As the song ends, the bandmembers transform into inanimate dolls.
Their closed eyelids were painted to have a doll-like feel.
