One at Optimus Director Michael Chaves recently directed the music video, “Make Note of Every Sound,” for the band Seven Saturdays. At the video’s core is a mother’s love for her daughter, whose death she is avenging in a showdown with the gang responsible. In lieu of blood and gore are crimson streamers that unfurl as the mother methodically takes all of them down with a samurai sword.
