It's usually not such a fineline between a romantic gesture and scaring the crap out of someone, but so it goes in SonReal's latest bit of twisted fun.
From the White House to the Waffle House to Walter White's House. This is how you make a travelogue music video.
SonReal and crew spent three months on tour, hitting locations in over 50 cities. Some of the spots are very familiar, others blessedly obscure, but all are treated with creativity and cleverness.
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.
