Behind the Scenes #1: Young Love’s Music Video “Get Me Up”

Are we not Postpostmodernists?!

Shouldn’t we therefore be more concerned with Process than with Product?

I hereby launch my Behind the Scenes series…

Music videos often summarise the direction style is going, in under three minutes. They present us with ~~mystical glamorous tableaux~~ and then we all dress up to look like we too inhabit their imaginary world.

I was in Young Love’s new video filmed at Webster Hall NYC, Get Me Up (very catchy). Of course I was fwightened because these are Cool People and how do you deal with Cool People?

But Kendall here was wearing a DIY headband look that I’d seen around in London and failed to capture. So I got brave and documented ze whole thing.

Just do it. Rock the multi-ethnic ensemble.

With Erik Tonneson on keyboard, dressed by Diesel.

Band frontman Dan Keyes. I love long necklaces on boys.

Ray Ban Clubmaster specs. See my forthcoming post all about glasses.

This is a good piece: the chain waistcoat. Because it’s not like we wear waistcoats for the fabric – they are about linear definition.

Look at those colors pop… I want to do this every day of my life.

You know who else does red and blue?

The Virgin Mary. She is so clever.

As I learned when I did this painting study… Because who doesn’t luff a random Biblical reference.

It’s a wrap!

Director Charlie Nordeen did a great job.
