After dabbling in the goth aesthetic on "In The Night" from her Summer Camp EP, San Jose artist, Lucy Camp ventures into the darkest corners where love and fear connect, via darkwave/industrial vibes on NIGHTS. This record was conceived and produced to evoke 'dead of night' vibes as you drive past streaking lights in your rear-view mirror.

THE VIDEOS:
Three music videos were shot and edited for the nights project in 2021. "Tricks" was directed, shot and edited by Zoodeville, based off of a storyboard treatment I created. I then added all of the CGI, warping and magic effects in Adobe After Effects to the existing footage to create the final video.
"Intuition" was personally shot handheld on a Sony A7S II on a Zhiyun Crane 2 in a local escape room facility. Utilizing the variously themed-rooms, we were able to create a sense of disorientation and confusion for the viewer. A projected clone effect and shaking chair were created in Adobe After Effects.
"Ugly" was the lead single off of the project. In keeping with the goth aesthetic, I wanted to keep the visuals as lo-fi as possible. I shot this utilizing sheets for backdrops, kaleidoscope filters for the trippy visuals and a strobe-light to draw back to the industrial murkiness of formative industrial bands of the late 70s/early 80s.
