I outsourced the vocal production to my friend Kyle Patrick, who has amazing ears and instincts for harmonies, layers, and performance.

VB: I met the director Colter Longshore through some mutual friends and we were throwing ideas and storyboards around, and we sort of jinxed each other on this zombie love triangle concept. We watched tons of horror movies and music videos to get some ideas of how to make an awesome video within our budget.

I knew exactly which of my friends should play what part immediately, and luckily everyone was down to drive to the Catskills in Upstate New York for a weekend, and knock it out in a day and a half. What was the most difficult part? VB : We did lots of preproduction and planning for the shoot in early September; everyone had an amazing attitude and brought great ideas to the table during filming, which made for an efficient process. We got a bunch of noise complaints from the house next door during the performance scene, which was definitely a bit of a setback.

Wait til you see the blooper reel! SR: Was it important for you to create a video as thought provoking and bold as the track itself? VB : I wanted the video to be gloomy, sexy, and fun. The narrative of the video has a few winks and nods to some of my favorite horror movies, and also of course to the heyday of 90s era MTV.

SR: What do you want your listeners to take with them after seeing the music video? VB : I want the video to be a captivating and compelling introduction to Van Bellman. And hopefully it leaves them wanting to hear more tunes and come check out a show. Stay tuned! Catch all the latest news on Van Bellman on his Official website.
