I remember the first time I watched this video. I was digging the fur coats and funny hats, loving the lighting and starting to feel one of the best feelings in the world: starting a video that you know is going to be kick ass.
At 2:55 I began to get goosebumps all over, my pupils dilating in what I now know to be a visual addiction which this website has futilely tried to quench. After all, whether in short or long bursts, slow motion always hooks you:
Aside from the amazing art direction, choreography, and straight-up kitsch that one can only embody by dangling from a horse that canters at full-speed, the editing of the middles’ slow motion sequence is breathtaking. Especially the quick cut-away to the singer just as she’s being spun like a top. If I had a shot of vodka right now, I’d drink it in “solidarity”. Guess I’ll just have to settle for more youtube.
