Working with the lovely folks from HSI and award winning music video director Robert Hales, the video is classic Janet.
Filmed in her traditional black and white style and choreographed by Gil Duldulao, we added various geometric shapes moving to the rhythm of the song to enhance the look of the performance. Jimmy Kiddell, 3D artist from our London office came up with some initial designs for the shapes and director Robert ultimately chose to use spikes that echoed the edgy wardrobe worn by Janet and her troupe.
We were also thrilled (and frankly, rather start struck) to welcome Ms Jackson herself when she swung by our Santa Monica office to view the final progress of the promo.
