Right. Kanye West co-directed this music video with Spike Jonze. Uh huh. Just because you come up with the idea doesn’t mean that you direct it Kanye. I come up with ideas all the time, and yet I still don’t see my name on MTV or Vh1. Stop being such an asshole about your videos, Squid Brains!
However, here at iloveslowmotion.com, we do not discriminate visually. Good slow motion is good slow motion. Especially when there’s a really hot chick beating the shit out of Kanye West with a blunt instrument. Not only is this an impressive use of the best camera speed in the world, it’s also one take long (Spike or Kanye’s idea? Hm…).
Bonus points to anyone who knows how they got Kanye out of the car in order for the shoveling to look realistic. My guess is that the back row of seats were taken out so he could crawl forward..although his blood flying everywhere would have been way more cinematic (and satisfying). Betcha didn’t think of that one, huh, co-director?
