Director Sam Taylor-Johnson and The Weeknd present 'Earned It' the charged new video for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, color graded at The Mill by Gregory Reese.
Shot in the Los Angeles Palace Theatre, The Weeknd holds court with a troupe of identically 'dressed' burlesque-style dancers behind him, illuminating in the stage lights.
Reese comments, "Really, we just wanted it to look like a sexy night at the theatre! Obviously it was beautifully lit with nice theatrical lighting, and they used some really cool lenses that created some beautiful in-camera effects."
