September 16, 2023
LCV's music video for "Saddened Eyes" was accepted to the Filmgate Music Festival!
September 7, 2022 – Special thanks to the following radio stations for adding our single “Saddened Eyes” to their rotation.
KMET (Denver, CO), WPCD (Champaign, IL), M3 Radio (Brooklyn, NY), WSWI (Evansville, IN), WSPN (Saratoga Springs, NY), WODU (Norfolk, VA) and WHFR (Dearborn, MI).
Love Crushed Velvet are once again pushing the boundaries of creativity with their latest music video for the single “Ride the Dice”, crafted using state-of-the-art motion and volumetric capture technology. This collaboration with NYU Film Labs was made using only 3 actors playing 50 different characters in a digitally-created environment. The use of motion capture and volumetric capture technology enabled each actor to play multiple roles, which were then transposed into customized avatars.
Directed by award-winning Director William Goins, this music video seamlessly integrates the band's electrifying music into a visual and sonic experience that can be viewed in 2D, 360 and Virtual Reality.
"Love Crushed Velvet has always been excited about pushing boundaries in combining music and visuals," says A.L.X., lead vocalist and primary songwriter of Love Crushed Velvet. "Working with NYU Film Labs and its talented graduate students allowed us to explore a range of exciting new tools, and the result is something truly special. We can't wait for our fans to experience it!"
