Video Clip Focus: Cloves

More Cloves Cloves Profile

Song title: Better Now

Director: Philip R Lopez 

What's the concept behind the clip? We wanted to create a video that played on the dynamic arrangement of the song, using light and space to capture the claustrophobic feeling of verses and the blunt feeling of the chorus.  

How long did it take to make? We shot the whole thing in a day. 

Where did you film it? We filmed it in a warehouse in Compton, California.

What's your favourite part of the clip? All the clips featuring my bass player, Cory… though he's playing the drums in the video…

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? I find I get quite nervous on camera, so I drank a lot of gin which I then found inspiring.
