Live a Little

I know I embedded this one on the old iteration of my blog, but I think this music video is one of the best of the last 20 years. It’s a masterclass of compositing and using CGI invisibly to achieve a thematic goal (not just for being flashy). It’s perfectly lit, it’s fun, and it never gets boring despite being extremely (by design) repetitive. It’s just great film-making all around.

And importantly for me, it shows a lot of Florrie playing drums. She is the real deal there; she was a professional session drummer for years. (And if you don’t know what that means, you have to be really fucking good to be a studio session drummer.)
