IN DEPTH: Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders "Louise"
Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins may stay behind the kit for his side project Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders, but it's his musical vision and vocals that drive this tale about the mysterious "Louise." Video director Alma Har'el handles the visuals, delivering a story about the unreliability of memories. Old Super 8 films are used and recreated with Hawkins and "Louise" — played by his real life wife — to show the jumble inside his head. And, in a very smart idea, Har'el utilized Hawkin's impeccable timekeeping by having him control the edit of some background projections through MIDI triggers on his drums.
