A riot spills into something even more destructive in this deftly animated video.
Peter Huang, director: "'The Wild' is a visual essay, semi-inspired by films like Baraka. I was really intrigued by how the film, through editing and structure, can wordlessly present a philosophical point of view. I attempted something similar with Omar's video, basing it around ideas of violence and its relation to the natural world. The use of animation I think is a good way to present these graphic images without making the audience shut off instantly."
Find out what happens when a high-powered thug loses his fortune to an unlikely thief and the crazy series of events that follow. You'll find yourself tossed into a world of samurai swords, strip clubs, street gangs and more. Welcome to CA$HVILLE mother f*ckers.
Peter Huang, director: "I always said throughout filiming, 'I hope some bubbly 13-yeard old who really loves EDM ends up bursting into tears at the end of this video. Only then will I be satisfied. Somebody provide me with proof that this has happened."
Something is clearly amiss when we enter the posh home where a latenight hook-up is about to ensue. The camera lingers on that kitchen island knife block a touch too long. The woman can curiously work the on-wall custom whole-house music system without any direction. And, what's that noise?
It's more short film than music video, and it certainly doesn't have a happy ending, so bubbly EDM fans should definitely brace themselves...
A rapper's dream of making it big in L.A. should be in the form of a music video — and if you grew up in the pre-HD days, then 4x3 would be the accurate aspect ratio. Also, if we're thinking about the kind of videos directors dream of making, then it should be one-take, involving lots of set-ups and the long multi-room tracking shots that you've long drooled over.
So, in short: Dreams come true for Canadian rapper SonReal and director Peter Huang in this impressive video.
If JD Harmeyer made a rap video, it would probably look this. "Everywhere We Go" is a fearlessly dorky and ludicrous homage to Napoleon Dynamite that also works as a send-up of the typical hip-hop imaging.
