Taking Back Sunday and Blink 182’s Thomas DeLonge Team Up,
Film Video For “This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)”
Taking Back Sunday teamed up with Blink 182 guitarist/singer Thomas DeLonge for the whirlwind filming of the video for “This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)” on Wednesday, October 26th. DeLonge’s debut as a video director came with more than the usual challenges, as Taking Back Sunday flew in for less than 24 hours, midway through their North American tour. With time of the essence, DeLonge kicked into action, presented a meticulous layout of each shot – his concept included plenty of energetic live performance combined with some memorable imagery – a combination of split screen and live shots. Bassist Matt Rubano commented, “The enthusiasm that Tom brought to this video was amazing. He was able to execute every bit of his treatment in such a great way. He was totally involved and most importantly he kept it fun for us the whole time. Having made so many videos himself, he really knew what he wanted. Tom is also a really fun, positive person to be around."
The band toured in late Spring 2004 with Blink 182, forging a friendship with DeLonge that culminated in their collaboration. Reports from the shoot have been extremely enthusiastic – Tom had this to say: "This video is so amazing that I am potentially going to take the band out in post editing, and put myself in there, and change the song too, because I'm so jealous."
“This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)” is the second single from Taking Back Sunday’s successful sophomore album, ‘Where You Want To Be”, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 this summer. The album has sold 430,000 copies to date. The single hits the airwaves in mid-November. The song was also included on the Spiderman 2 Soundtrack, along with Artists like Dashboard Confessional, Jet and Yellowcard.
See Taking Back Sunday live on Fuse TV, November 19th, when they host the Daily Download show.
