"Dangerous Shadows" First Music Video Based on Novel "The House on Black Lake"

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 29, 2011 - A stylistic new music video depicts dramatic scene from contemporary gothic suspense, "The House on Black Lake" by Anastasia Blackwell. The video opens with foreboding as a woman appears through lush landscape and struggles to escape hooded figures in preparation for what appears to be a pagan ritual, and culminates in a stunning trapeze act. The arc of the drama is a sexy/dangerous vision of female empowerment.

The unique piece was filmed by award winning cinematographer Frazer Bradshaw. An evocative orchestral composition with heavy percussion, by Russian filmmaker/music composer Andrew Oudot, lends tension, foreboding, emotional resonance, and effectively stands on its own as downloadable dance or background music.

The video was filmed at renowned philosopher/author Sam Keen’s Sky Ranch in Sonoma. The Trapeze rig featured is a permanent fixture on the property and home to Trapeze Pro, a prominent Bay Area circus skills school. Professional performers Marek Kaszuba, Tanya Henckle Hoover, Keith Hoover, and John Arnst are featured in the flying sequences. In addition, unique, never before performed trapeze tricks, including "The Heroine’s Journey", were created as part of choreography for interpretation of the novel’s climactic scene.

Author/actress Anastasia Blackwell conceived idea, produced, directed, and performs in  video. The ground breaking piece joins a trailer she produced for her debut novel, as well as videos and teasers featuring original photography, sound design, and spoken word.

Time will tell if the unique idea will spread to indie authors and publishing houses and create a new genre of music and means of promotion for literature. The potential appears unlimited, with millions of books lining shelves of libraries and online catalogues worldwide, languidly waiting for an infusion of life.

"The House on Black Lake" has been adapted to screenplay and author is in negotiation for rights. To learn more about project go to www.houseonblacklake.com
