ChaosAcademy is very pleased to announce a new Fan Video for Velvet Acid

new video will follow the "Concept" format. Filmed in four parts,
each of the four parts will be in and of themselves a full video. Together, the
four individual parts will make one full story-line arch. Named "Alpha
Ixion", this video will feature the following songs from the last 3 Velvet
Acid Christ CDs. "The Calling", "Mindphlux",
"Psycho", and "Icon". With the full support of Velvet Acid
Christ, the video will be shot in Toronto and Ottawa, Canada. Part One will be
shot on location, at The Vatikan Night Club (1032 Queen St.), in Toronto. The
director is putting out a call for extras to be part of the first shoot. To
register for the shoot, please contact Jef for more details (jef@chaosacademy.com). The first 30
people accepted will get a limited edition t-shirt. With the support of some
extremely talented artistic individuals, this videos will strive to pave the
way for a new and risky take on the music video format. Together with heavy
special effects and the more traditional creature design, Alpha Ixion will
shoot for a Spring 2003 release. www.chaosacademy.com
