Mike Bell & The Belltones – Crystal Ball – video trilogy

Introduction: Is this trilogy just a set of three ordinary individual music videos, or is it a 3-part short film backing with some music? You can decide it yourself after you have seen them all.

If you take a closer look you may find a little story in it. The script for a story is based to the lyrics of the songs from Mike Bell & The Belltones’ Crystal Ball-ep. Part #1: Crystal Ball, Part #2: Crawl Baby Crawl, Part #3: Sweet Lovin’ Woman.

Preview: Jimmy and Judy have been together for a long time but lately Jimmy has been insecure for what’s on Judy’s mind concerning the future of their relationship. Our story begins when Jimmy is being rejected from the woman he loves and decides to go to a fortune teller to have answers for all his suspenses (Yeah, that’s what men always do!).

After that everything you see in the video is the sight what Jimmy sees in the crystal ball. Almost like Jimmy is seeing the most amazing dream he ever had with some odd sidetrack about the Mike Bell & The Belltones and mainly their money-grubbing manager Don Pekka. What happens in the crystal ball stays in the crystal ball or is it all becoming reality...?
