This episode is fueled by Psychopath energy! On the twelfth episode of ML Backstage, Mars Luna, Joshua Luna (Josh) & Holokahiki Toves (Holo) analyze the behind the scenes stories, creative processes and release of Mars Luna's "Psychopath" music video (and acoustic single) that is out now on all streaming platforms. Kainalu Kamai (Nalu) missed this episode since he was working at the Ghost Bus again. Go check that out if you're in Kapolei. They discuss:
- Psychopath's connection comic book characters (more specifically Batman villains) such as Joker, Harley Quinn, Riddler, Two-Face, Venom (even though he is a part of Marvel) and how watching "The Batman" movie validated the direction Josh took for the Psychopath video.
- the song breakdown for the acoustic version of "Psychopath" and how Josh was able to produce and release this version to compliment the music video.
- the original plans and influences for the "Psychopath" video and the overall change of direction from a risqué and sensual video to a grungy, dark and goofy direction.
- filming "Psychopath" in Honolulu Chinatown and how the sketchy vibe generated the necessary energy to push through with the video.
- filming at a tennis court and drawing inspiration from Amine's "Compensating" music video.
- filming at 3 Kai Clothing Co and using Nalu's airsoft rifle and knife to bring a maniacal and sinister direction to Mars Luna's character for the video.
