The Treatment
Joy is hard to fake, so we didn't. The cast is made of real dance crews, the route is a real carnival route, and the camera is almost always handheld at the centre of the dance. Playfulness was the direction on every slate.
Release & Outcome
The video's dance break travelled further than the song alone ever could, sparking thousands of recreations and a festival-season staple.
“Dancers, loud colour and local texture drive a high-spirited film that never stops moving.”
