“Knowing that Alejandro grew up going to shows at Programme Skate & Sound, I wanted to radically pay tribute to that and create a live performance that no one would forget,” the director explains. “This video represents the hardcore passion and in-your-face energy of [the song].
As always, we had a skate and punk-rock approach to filmmaking. While one of my DPs was getting knocked around in the crowd, the other was literally holding an old-school VX1000 with Death Lens in one hand and an HVX in the other. This attitude translated into the final video as I chose to highlight the rawness, grit, sweat, grime, and glitches—all the wonderful flaws.” – Laban
