Fans of Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures” have quickly become accustomed to Jay Wasley, who has gone on to be an integral part of the team. Now Wasley is stretching his legs a bit by sliding into the director’s seat for the creepy music video for Ben de la Cour’s “Down to the Water’s Edge.” Dig it!
From the Press Release:
In his debut music video, Ben de la Cour partners with Sun House Films to release a chilling visual accompaniment to his recently released single “Down to the Water’s Edge.” De la Cour describes his vision for the video as “walking a fine line between love and obsession.” Patterning this video after some of his favorite horror films, de la Cour wanted to create a sense of ambiguous dis-ease. “I love the way [David Lynch] uses the suggestion of a linear plot in his movies, kind of like a writer would,” says de la Cour.
An active reader himself, de la Cour’s ability to motivate narrative is prominent in the plot line of “Down to the Water’s Edge.” Based on the perspective warranted to the viewer, de la Cour’s video allows the viewer to engage in an obsession that is neither real nor even reality. We are suspended in the daydreams, wiles, and whispers of a mad man.
Jay Wasley of Sun House Films directed, shot, edited, and produced the video after meeting with de la Cour and Joe Lekkas of Flour Sack Cape Records in Nashville, TN. “We shared a common vision of how to communicate lyrical art into visual art,” mentions Wasley. “It was an instant friendship.”
Moving forward, Sun House Films has partnered to work with Flour Sack Cape Records to create other music videos with different artist on the label. Be on the lookout for the next video of de la Cour’s already filmed and directed by Jay Wasley waiting for release.
