A few weeks ago the production of the music video officially got underway. afterchoolspecial is retooling their single NAME with a wicked violin solo by Paul Dateh. Helming the music video will be the guys of Wong Fu Productions. You can expect great things with a collabo like this. It’s the first time that these guys have all worked together on a music video.
