LABOR XII | Psychofantic Music Video

by | Sep 5, 2024 | 0 comments

How is it already September? 2024 has been one of our craziest years yet! We have another ridiculously cool project to add to our list this year and it’s a bit personal. If you weren’t aware or are new to our production company, we have a hard rock band called LABOR XII. We started it 5 years ago and have been able to do some pretty cool things with it. Most notably, we got to open a festival for Incubus in August of 2023. One of the benefits of having this production company is that we produce our own music videos. This particular music video was a labor (pun intended) of love, blood, sweat, and tears. It took us two years to develop and we couldn’t be more proud of the outcome. Check it out! 

There was a significant amount of work that went into this music video and it got tough at times, but the end result was well worth it. By our calculation, production alone took us 12 days. Post production took even longer as there were a TON of visual effects that Ross pulled off like a wizard. 

 

There were a lot of moving parts and contributions to this project beyond just the actual video production. We had a really great team of people who contributed either in hands-on roles or as consultants from elsewhere. We had crew drive all the way from California! No stone was unturned by the end of the video. 

Two of the biggest parts of the music video were the props and costumes. Our gun prop designer, Shana Dallas, did an EPIC job while building these cyber pistols. All while being pregnant which she told us after the fact. We’re super grateful to her for that! The costumes were also tricky. We wanted to be as economical as possible, so lots of amazon shopping took place. We got really lucky finding such good costuming!

Creative work takes time but the time and money that went into it were well worth the outcome! We hope to produce some behind the scenes videos about the video that will take you through the process.
