After the past few music videos, pretty much all directed by the same person, it won’t come as a surprise when I tell you that Mark Staubach is once again in charge of the new music video for “Singing In The Rain” that Simple Plan filmed yesterday. It’s been confirmed by a picture posted on Instagram yesterday, where Mark can be seen looking at the playback with Pierre, Seb and SP’s manager Eric.
Mark Staubach, directed the most Simple Plan music videos out of any other directors, including all versions of “Summer Paradise”, “Astronaut”, “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You” or most recently “I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed” and “Opinion Overload” [read the full SimplePlan.cz interview with Mark from last fall here].
The filming of “Singing In The Rain” took place at least at two location in Toronto, Canada – and both of them included a performance by Simple Plan. The first location was the Danforth Music Hall, which is a popular concert venue in Toronto with a capacity of a little over 1000 (standing). The second location was the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 101, which is a veteran organisation. Check out the photos of the venues below to give yourself a first look at what the location of the shoot looked like:
