Interesting video. I have seen this video many times and just thought it was a basic dance music video. It was cool to hear how much more complex it was then I had thought.
Dua Lipa has really mastered the art of the super catchy pop song that gets stuck in your head and dominates the charts. New Rules, One Kiss, Electricity, Don’t Start Now, Physical, Levitating and now Houdini - girl knows exactly what she’s doing 😂
Dua is THE princess of pop music today. She really makes some serious bangers; you should definitely try something else from her. I recommend "Physical" from her previous album, it also has a cool music video.
She has other videos that could be really interesting for you to analyse. Physical won an award for visual effects, Don't start now a dew nominations and I love Break my heart's transitions. Bonus you seem to like her catchy music.
Not sure if you caught it but at 10:22 they did another mirror trick. When she does the back bend, her reflection has a man bent over supporting her weight but he doesn’t appear in the main shot. Took me a couple of times to notice it.
So cool, was waiting for this one! The editing itself is mostly straightforward, but can you imagine *planning* this thing? 8:15 in particular there's no cut between her alone vs. the group in the mirror, but the camera feels handheld. They must've superimposed a different mirror shot, but mimicked the camera almost perfectly? Maybe handheld shake added in post? Love simple but well-executed videos like these.
finally, Finally, FINALLY, FINAAAAAAAAAALLLLLY! Josh FINALLY touched Dua Lipa's new song and the simple yet mind-blowing and intricate music video of Houdini. I already saw some people commented to watch Physical, and i will tell you now, you'll NERD out on that video. I promise
This was a great breakdown of her video! I know that there was interesting editing happening but this blew me away. Love the video and song! She has some awesome videos from her previous album that it would be great to hear your reaction to: Physical, Break My Heart and Love Again are all awesome and have great editing.
yesssssssss i'm so happy to see your reaction to this one!! just here to echo what everyone else has said and that you should check out more of her stuff.
what blows my mind is the masking out of the camera with having the single mirrors with the lines between them. I can imagine its easy to get a fill for like a whole solid but with that line in between i think its harder. I am exited for her new video wich comes out tonight
Been waiting for this!!! Amazing and very interesting as always! Love your content, also from Dua there's Physical wich is another interesting video of her, should check it out
Hiya! Could you expand on how the artistic direction and the elements of the MV that tie into this idea of "escapism" that Houdini was so well known for? I agree with your points on the song being an absolute JAM and your insight into the technicalities of videography is salient, but I can't wrap my head around the artistic direction. So many of the visual aspects: dancers "disappear " and then "reappear", showing us something different on the mirror versus what she does etc. tell a story that resonates with "trick of the eye" magic or optical illusions, like we are being deceived or tricked rather than actual "escapism" magic. I'm curious I could also be missing /misinterpreting smth :)
YOU MUST DO HER "PHYSICAL" AND "BREAK MY HEART 'MUSIC VIDEOS. THEY ARE THE COOLEST IN TERMS OF TRANSITIONS AND CAMERA WORK. FIRST TIME WATCHING YOU BUT I'LL COME BACK FOR MORE DUA AND POP SINGERS.
There is a guy on the mirror at 1:30 (on the actual "official music video") who I don't think should be there. A choreographer ? should have been masked out! :-( (GREAT song though!)
I have a suggestion for an artist you have not yet covered on this channel yet and that is Joji. In particular I'd suggest his song "Slow Dancing In The Dark" its a beautiful and haunting ballad. The music video is well... interesting, and I believe you may find it interesting too.
Great informative reaction :) Would love to see what you think of A$AP Rocky - D.M.B. That video is a little nugget of all kinds of editing styles and smart techniques wrapped up in one.
The lyrics don't say much, the music is good because it's bringing the 80's back, it's like a version of songs like MANIAC by Michael Sembello (it doesn't reach the level) even in the dance concept video.
Interesting video. I have seen this video many times and just thought it was a basic dance music video. It was cool to hear how much more complex it was then I had thought.
Same 😯
Dua has actually a pretty awesome music video catalog, you should check them out
Can't wait to do so!
Loved the reaction!
You should definitely check out her MV for Physical.
It has some amazing stuff too!
Yes. And IDGAF
Bruu how could you forget the break my heart mv omg that was the best

If she not the queen then who is

Dua creates great visuals. I think you would like Physical, Break My Heart, and IDGAF music videos

More Dua Lipa. She has some incredible music videos that need the editing broken down.
what blows my mind is the masking out of the camera with having the single mirrors with the lines between them. I can imagine its easy to get a fill for like a whole solid but with that line in between i think its harder. I am exited for her new video wich comes out tonight

Your ability to fan over cinematography is weird.
