The 5 Best Music Videos to Emerge From the Quarantine Void
‘Wildflower’ – 5 Seconds of Summer
Settling high on the list of innovative music videos was 5 Seconds of Summer’s ‘Wildflower’. The sunny, sultry number found a warm spot on the Australian band’s latest album, ‘CALM’. The boys recruited the director, Andy DeLuca, and he broke down the filming process of this video:
“Everyone filmed their parts at home with an iPhone and later sent the footage over to me. We quickly learned animation and drew up several blooming flowers, and also created the trippy colored backgrounds using milk and food dye. I then spent the next couple of days/nights editing nonstop until my eyes bled and the video was completed. It definitely has pushed us to create something we normally wouldn’t, using only our brains and our hands.”
Interestingly enough, the boys even passed a green screen from home to home, for the shoot. And so, that’s how the psychedelic, vibrant hue-d music video for ‘Wildflower’ was born.
