Everything You Wanted – Clubfeet

Australia, 2013

℗ 2013 Illusive (Crawcour / Hewitt / Selmann)

Film
An image of a man in a black suit and white shirt walking down a suburban street with one version of himself slightly ahead

Clubfeet’s music video for Everything You Wanted (2013) seems straightforward on first watch, but was actually a complicated and technically ambitious feat to execute. Director Josh Thomas used a Red Epic at 5k resolution to film the clip in one take at 50 frames a second, with the masking out of each still pose achieved in post. The technique was so effective, it was controversially used in One Direction’s video You & I (2014), raising questions of inspiration, reinvention and duplication.
