Obama can do anything. He can unify the country, if not the world. And, he can move units. His visage can sell collectible plates and inaugural coins. So, why not reap some of that shine by shoehorning the man of the hour into a song/video and then releasing it in the lead-up to today's inauguration? DJ/Producer Adam Freeland remixes the Daft Punk cut "Aerodynamic" and works in a Sesame Street style, "Hey kids, let's learn to spell Obama!" refrain. The video has a similar DIY vibe, utilizing a pair of Be@rbricks Daft Punk figures and other designer toys of the Kid Robot variety to recreate a concert by the band. An Obama character acknowledges the O-B-A-M-A chant midway through, flying into the mix to tap the letters into a Speak-N-Spell and generally blessing the crowd (easy joke alert: Wouldn't EX-president George W. Bush be more likely to play with a Speak-N-Spell?).
PS: This is the debut video from new directing team GOLD, which consists of former Happy director Richard Farmer and Sinuhe Xavier. GOLD is signed to Greendot Films and repped by Heidi Gregory. --> watch "Aer Obama"
