Music video

Director Ace Norton shot a video for "Creator" in the beginning of 2008;[7] however, it did not get released since the single was changed to "L.E.S. Artistes". Santi explained that they had "shot a video for Creator and it was bad. The director didn't get the shots that we needed. ...And the video was not good enough for this song. ...I was like, we're not gonna use it. And they were like, we just spent all this money. So we changed the single to LES, and had a video, and people loved it, and it worked."[8]
