Save Money's very own, Towkio, is trying to take over fall. With his debut album .WAV Theory on the way, and a few features from Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, and Kaytranada, the artist formerly known as Tokyo Shawn is back with a new video for the Walkingshoe-produced "Eyes." We guarantee you've never seen a music video like this.
Along with his partner Todd Barret (who co-directed under the name [LL]), Towkio created a reflection pond for his video with five household items: a black foam board, insulation foam, flex seal, coffee creamer and water. He described it via email below:
"We created a reflection pond, used insulation foam to act as the border to hold water, sprayed the board with flex seal so it wouldn't warp, filled the board with water and shot the video in the water using coffee cream to give the "cloud" effect," Towkio says. "We shot the video in water then flipped video in post so it appeared right side up—something people do in photos but has yet to be done in video). There are no special effects in the video, all shots are real life."
For those who may be unfamiliar with Towkio's music, make sure to check out his Hotchips N Chopstix EP and look for more new music on the way in the next few weeks.
