I love the track, its got such a vibe that makes me think of summer, friends and chill days with a good crew. I just want to share some ideas and visuals that pay homage to the vibe of the track. Just to throw down what I feel with the song with the interest of collaborating with PND and management on what you’re feeling / not feeling.
The opening makes me think of driving on a desert or seaside road… Like in Malibu, Miami or Jamaica, top down… Just something to really set the tone / establish an environment of good times and summer memories. PND could be driving alone on the way to a daytime hangout somewhere, or with a small crew.
I was thinking we should get a vintage supercar, Lamborghini, Ferrari or otherwise. Something thats really special and unique.
I’m thinking that overall the video starts in the daytime summer to set the mood, goes into the evening and ends at night… might seem obvious but as opposed to jumping around from day to night. I like the idea that the video feels like the cycle of a really good day with the crew. When it comes to the girl, start by thinking about / having your eyes on a girl and moving into the night to finally get together…
Just some ideas of what happens during the day, everyone arrives at a get together, this is when we are first introduced to the films Muse, one girl that stands out from the rest. Her and friends hangout, flirt, drink and swim. Every time we see the group the girl stands out. She has to feel very natural and believable that she can just chill and hangout, and in these simple moments her smile and subtle nuances make her amazing to watch. Being stupid cute like spitting water from her mouth at a girlfriend, or dancing alone and not afraid offing to be a goof. … thinking like a Cara Delevingne type of personality.
.
Moving into the evening. We can change places, maybe on the way PND gives her a ride to a party. In the car she flirts and does some stupidly hot shit. Maybe she changes there in the car into a different outfit.
Ending at an evening / night time at a party. I picture it like a party in the hills, not huge but a good crowd like 60. A party on the DL, the girl dances with her friends “theres too many hoes on you girl”. At this point the viewers are totally captivated by her, I imagine a lot of solid colour lighting, and slow motion as she dances.
Shortly after. The end had PND and the girl getting together, at the party and then in a private room somewhere.
Location wise, I am thinking this would shoot in LA, or somewhere overseas like Jamaica or Cape Town south Africa. Overseas is good because it allows us to get away with a lot more.. locations and cars… For example Cape Town South Africa can Feel Like Miami or LA but we can do so much more than LA allows. Shooting in LA we can call in a lot of favours, and have Cameo’s with PND’s links and my own.
Aesthetically, I think it would suit the tone of the video to shoot on 16mm film or a mixture of film and digital, even VHS which contributes to a sense of realism and modesties surrounding all the expensive shit.
PartyNextDoor’s performance - Mixed in with nuanced footage of driving and hanging out with the crew, in the same vignettes we can roll takes where he is both just hanging out and takes where he sings the songs. Nothing that is overtly deliberate and separate from the story, I think it would be best to have his performance seamlessly integrated into the story by building them into the scenes.
So, These are my preliminary ideas. I’m not married to any of the ideas. I would be very excited to collaborate with PND and management to being in the elements and style that you want.
Thank you,
