Troy Roscoe takes things to a new nerve-shredding level in his latest collab with Potter Payper, in a brilliant, horror movie-inspired video for Scenes. Paying homage to some of the great horror films - including Ring and The Shining - reality distorts in Potter's home, bringing as supernatural entities and clones invade his safe space. With a saturated red colour palette and eerily calm camerawork, this a gripping combination of playfulness and dread, with a fabulously intense performance by Potter Payper at the core. "This one was so fun, with endless directions we could have taken it," confirms Roscoe. "The song and lyrics are so vivid it was super hard to keep my ideas contained."Scenes references some of the best movie horror scenes, shot all static and with a heavy push of red on the colour palette. I think people will be excited to see Potter in a video of this style, as it’s quite far away from anything he’s put out before."Consummately produced and relentlessly entertaining, the video feels like another step up for both Potter Payper and Troy Roscoe - and raiding the horror canon feels like a shockingly good fit for them both.
