Label The War Inside Shilo Directs Passion Piece with and for Angels  Airwaves Tom Delonge

The War Inside: Shilo Directs Passion Piece with and for Angels & Airwaves, Tom Delonge

Shilo, the authors of We Make It Good, recently teamed closely with musician Tom Delonge to direct "The War," a striking short film inspired and backed by the Angels & Airwaves song of the same name.

Thanks in part to Delonge's admiration for the studio's work, the Shilo creative team was involved with this "passion piece" even as the original song was being written.

Staying true to their technique of "design-infused storytelling," Shilo conceived, designed, directed, composited, and edited a short film of epic force and intensity.

Perhaps best-known as the lead vocalist / guitarist of the now "indefinitely hiatused" Blink-182, Delonge formed Angels & Airwaves in 2006, writing "The War" for the band's first album "We Don't Need to Whisper."

As Delonge was conceiving and writing the songs for the album, Shilo had the extraordinary opportunity to collaborate directly with the songwriter, creating storyboards and designs for short films through intimate conversations and free associations.

Shilo ended up directing the band's second music video, "Do It For Me," and designing the cover for their first album.

"When working with commercials, everything is tidy and nice at the end," says Andre Stringer, Creative Director at Shilo.

"In contrast, 'The War' was all about creative freedom; free reign to make inferences and convey feelings without having to tell a literal, product-driven story."
