Dan Black f/ Kelis "Hearts" (Chic & Artistic, dir.)

24-hour Time Lapse

Dan Black feat. Kelis "HEARTS"

It would be hard to blame Dan Black for looking jittery on a 24 hour video shoot. That's a lot of coffee, or other stimulants*. But, it's just a byproduct of the time-lapse process: Directors Chic & Artisitic hit a Paris rooftop for a continuous 24 hour time-lapse experiment, shooting a new frame every 16 seconds.

Now, the heart might never sleep, but humans usually do, so there's clearly some segments where Black gets a break, but you could make a solid point that the video really takes off when the Kelis components take over.  

* Turns out I know my jitters. Chic & Artistic sent me the final stats for the video: 5395 images, 0 rest, 67 cans of Redbull, 98 coffees, 103 insults, 32 sunburns.
