Soul in the Machine - License to Slut (Tonight is Halloween)
In Color Studios produced a music video for Soul in the Machine’s single “License to Slut (Tonight is Halloween),” delivering a polished visual production across a two-day shoot in Las Vegas. The crew included art department, cinematography, lighting, grip, camera, hair and makeup, and production management.
Day One: Residential Location
The first day took place in a neighborhood house selected for its intimate, lived-in textures. The art department transformed the rooms with vintage furniture, custom props, and practical effects. The director, production designer, and cinematographer planned the scenes around the location’s sightlines, then used practical and motivated lighting to support performance close-ups and choreographed camera movement.
Day Two: AREA15
On the second day, production moved to AREA15, where the larger spaces supported expansive performance scenes. The lighting and set teams developed bold color palettes and silhouettes, while the camera department used dolly, crane, and Steadicam movement to connect the second-day material with the more intimate residential footage.
Production Coordination
The experienced crew streamlined setup and strike so the team could complete an ambitious shot list within the two-day schedule. Production management coordinated logistics, permits, and vendors across both locations, while department heads maintained a consistent visual direction from wardrobe and hair through practical effects.
Post-Production
Post-production planning began during the shoot. The digital imaging technician, editorial team, and colorist coordinated the workflow and reviewed footage as the production progressed. The final grade emphasized neon color and contrast while preserving natural skin tones and the band’s on-screen presence.
The completed video reflects In Color Studios’ full-service approach to Las Vegas music video production, combining art direction, experienced crews, and coordinated production management.
