Desert Gold is the music video directing debut of puppeteer Rob Saunders.
Rob Saunders (see previous post) has directed his first music video, Desert Gold, for the Norwegian band Maika. I love the rod puppetry in it; the puppets look very simple, but they've been staged and shot with some real cinematic flare that's difficult to achieve.
A talented crew of L.A.-based puppeteers worked on this, including puppeteers Greg Ballora (lead puppeteer), B.J. Guyer, Greg Manion, Trey Strokes, and Carol Binion. Sam Hale and Christine Papalexis also worked on it.
