Deftones Change In The House Of Flies Music Video

The music video for "Change (In The House Of Flies)" features a bunch of party goers in a mansion, many of which appear to be quite out of it. The concept was created by Deftones singer Chino Moreno along with bassist Chi Cheng after they were unimpressed with any of the potential ideas others had pitched to them. Not wanting to film a stereotypical video of the band performing with a bunch of rowdy fans or skateboarders in the background, Chino wanted to film something a bit more personal, even offering to film the video in his own house.

As he told Kerrang:

"We got a ton of video treatments sent to us and they were all pretty much over-artsy, trying to take us out of our element... Or they were just straight up silly, basically having us perform and having all these skateboarders and s*** like that. Everything was either too complicated or too easy. So I just ended up writing my own treatment with Chi. The label sent it out to Nigel Dick, the director. I wanted to have performance in it, but not be us on a stage with a bunch of kids with tattoos and piercings stage-diving. I don't think we need that. And at the same time we don't need us in a desert dressed in Gucci clothing trying to look weird. I figure if we film at my house it's pretty much us, so it's a true sense of what we do." - Moreno, A Deep Dive Into Deftones' Change..., Mike Rampton, Kerrang (May 25, 2019) - https://www.kerrang.com/a-deep-dive-into-deftones-change-in-the-house-of-flies-video

The video would not be shot at Chino's house and was instead filmed at a mansion in Hollywood Hills.

“The concept behind the video is a never-ending party, going on for three days or so – a wild, exotic, indulgent party. The band doesn’t seem to be the primary focus.” - Frank Delgado, A Deep Dive Into Deftones' Change..., Mike Rampton, Kerrang (May 25, 2019) - https://www.kerrang.com/a-deep-dive-into-deftones-change-in-the-house-of-flies-video

One of the models who performed in the video also offered this explanation:

“The whole premise is like we’ve been up on drugs for three days.” - Change Video Model, A Deep Dive Into Deftones' Change..., Mike Rampton, Kerrang (May 25, 2019) - https://www.kerrang.com/a-deep-dive-into-deftones-change-in-the-house-of-flies-video
