Slow Motion B-Boying with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck
POSTED ON February 7th, 2010 BY Calvin

Okay, so there’s a total of maybe five seconds of actual b-boying in this. But what’s most striking to me is how seamlessly the dancing fits in with the rest of the video despite the fact that it’s not a conventional dance or hip-hop track.

In an age where most music videos use a quick powermove or freeze here or there as quick gimmicky eye candy, director Keith Schofield floods this video with every possible absurdity possible. And it works — or, at least, I think it does. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it also features Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck, two of the coolest people ever. What do you think?

    i guess this video is trying to portray non-normative behavior.

    - getting chased by a twirlling ax
    - jumping on one’s hands
    - …pancake head…

    i liked this.

    I’m going to have nightmares like crazy tonight…

    but soooo worth it. Interesting video.
