ManWomanBoogie

Via Ms. Diva...

Q-Tip - ManWomanBoogie (ft. Amanda Diva)
Directed by Rik Cordero



Not sure if yall knew but Rik Cordero is the best Music Video Producer around. Period.

Eskay passed along a snippet of Rik's film treatment for this music video - pretty cool to see how he goes about his genius.

A surreal performance setting combined with the uptempo jazzy beat inspired me to think about classic films that feature relationships between men and women on trains. Off the top of my head, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Darjeeling Limited featured some great scenes between a man and woman combined with the immediacy and urgency of a moving train about to reach its destination. Upon destination the man and woman would go their separate ways and reconcile later on. The moving train to me is a great metaphor for the ups and downs, ins and outs and the rush felt between the forces of man and woman.
