Billy Eyes's music video for Lunch is an ode to
the stripped down videos of the nineties that you grew
up on. They rely on performance takes of the artists
more than big set pieces, which it relies on Billy's
high energy and personality to keep its entertaining. But maintaining
that wasn't the biggest challenge Billy Face. The hardest part
of shooting Lunch was ironically her lunch, quite literally. She
shared on the Vivo Footnotes a series snacking on various

(00:24):
foods on camera and became incredibly difficult, saying I had
a giant table of food that I would take bites
up and spit out throughout the day. I should have
done that from the beginning, though, because at first I
was actually eating everything and I became full immediately. Didn't
want to make the video directly on the nose. I
thought the lyrics spoke for themselves. I just wanted a classic,
simple video. It's Billy Eilist there on Lunch. You can
watch on Vivo.
