What a blast it was making this music video. Would you believe us when we tell you that it only cost a little over $100 to build the set? Who would’ve known that a few tarps and 5 mini flood lights could go such a far way?
This kick ass, action packed music video was filmed at the one and only Loading Docks in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our in-house sound engineer, Scrappy, was so kind as to play the main part. Talk about delivering the roll, right? Played the part, looked the part, and sold it if you ask us.
The graffiti on the walls really helps with setting the scene. Holes punches in walls, shattered mirrors, and suicidal imagery really help you become immersed and help you forget that you’re watching a music video and make you feel like you’re watching a movie.
Taylor Barber, we can’t thank you enough for being a part of this project. If you liked the video then PLEASE go check out his band, “Left to Suffer.” This feature is truly one of a kind. Can you really call it a vocal performance if it ends up sounding like demonic growling? Taylor may look big on the outside but trust us when we tell you his voice is 10 times bigger.
Our first official music video was filmed with our good friend Tim Burton of Timbur Media. We really wanted to expand our horizons with this film. So, we decided to have Tyler Bromberg (Guitarist/Vocalist of Saint Raven) take over the filming and editing department with this one.
This one-man-band truly sets the definition of the term. Not only is his band, Saint Raven, one of the hardest hitters in our home state, but these individuals also know how to expand on their artistic vision. What a blast it is to work with a filmer and editor who is also in a band. It really helps you that much more when trying to obtain that vision you can’t quite nail on your own.
We know it’s a little dark. We understand the video is a little straight forward, but honestly, that was the point with this one. We didn’t want any of the focus on ourselves, hence all back clothing and simple scenery. We really wanted to focus on our main actor, Scrappy, and the feelings he did so well on portraying.
We wish we could’ve flown Taylor Barber out for this one, but sadly due to Covid-19, we were not able to bring him out for the shooting of this film. Luckily enough, our good friend Kevin Russel was able to fill in and completely knock the part out of the park. Their figures and builds are one in the same. We are still trying to convince our fans that this wasn’t the original vocalist shown in our Video.
Overall, we can’t thank everybody enough who helped us make this. Like anything else successful, it needed a team. Expenses of course started adding up fast. Day of filming was no different. Lots of sudden changes and last-minute decisions that needed work arounds. Thank you to our actors, fans, filmers/editors, and especially our fans. We wouldn’t be able to present what we worked so hard to make if it wasn’t for the support that we receive along the way.
