Ghost now public on YouTube

The video for the new dEUS single 'Ghost' can now also be viewed in our media section http://www.deus.be/media/

And of course also directly on our YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU0Q0U08gAc

Here's a note from Saman Keshavarz the director about his inspiration for the dEUS ‘Ghost’ promo video!

I had the idea from Facebook post about Jesus riding a skate board. Somebody posed a thought: "What if Jesus' skated?"

Then I asked people on Twitter & Facebook..."what would you like to see Jesus do if he were a skater?" People's responses were very different than I thought. Instead of skating tricks...they told me things that they thought he should do...the only one I really took was: "Jesus should eat a big fucking hot dog!"

Obviously with the band's title being dEUS, I thought the idea had something there...but it wasn't really until I heard the song that I realized it was a duality piece. Half good / Half bad. I wanted to do a complete tonal shift, just like the song. The idea that things start fun & simple and then become more elaborate and hurtful struck me as interesting. The song does this 180 degree emotion pretty well. There is no interest to re-explore the thematic qualities of religion, Christianity or Jesus himself. I just like to pose the thought for a mere 5 minutes that if Jesus was a homie just like the rest of us living in a not so pretty world of 2012, I’m sure he'd smoke a few joints. This is not coming from a non-smoker I'd like to ad :)

After a few concepting sessions with my execs and my co-writer (Nate Eggert), i had a solid story to run with and that was that.

I'd like to add that I inspired to a sort of filmic child that only the coitus of Spike Jonze & Gus Van Sant could create. Not sure it's half as good, but I tried and I hope people like (and dislike) it ;)
