Synopsis

A lecherous film director oversees a glossy, sexually charged production populated by glamorous women, treating the performers as interchangeable objects. As the shoot grows increasingly surreal, the director's authority begins to collapse and he is pulled into the strange fantasy he has been staging. The video's lurid imagery eventually gives way to a supernatural twist, with voodoo entering the story and turning the director's exploitative behavior back against him. The result is an intentionally outrageous, adult-oriented visual companion to Electric Six's "Body Shot."

Factoids & Trivia

• Dick Valentine explained that the director character is meant to be a jerk who objectifies women, only to become trapped in his own movie. He also described the voodoo sequence at the end as the punch line.

• The production was assembled at the last minute after the band abandoned an earlier concept because it could not be made within the available budget.

• The video was released online in October 2009, shortly before "Body Shot" appeared on Electric Six's sixth album, "KILL."

• Contemporary coverage highlighted the clip's deliberately provocative, vaguely pornographic presentation and treated it as an adults-only video rather than a conventional promotional performance piece.

• The video was associated with the promotional campaign for "KILL," whose North American release followed on October 20, 2009.
