Video: FM Belfast – Underwear

May 25, 2010

If you like cool camera tricks and fancy editing in your music videos, this clip for “Underwear” by Icelandic electronica trio FM Belfast may be your dream come true. It’s based on a simple concept with shots of people dancing alone in their underwear (and subsequently making fools of themselves) with some very clever edits then added in by the directing team of Daniel Scheinert and Dan Kwanadds. 

DANIELS, as they are called, use an array of techniques including variable speeds, retiming, time displacement, match cuts, and stop-motion that gives the video a very surrealistic vibe. The result is something that’s technically incredible and, to go along with the lyrics of the song, intimate and joyful. It helps that the track’s not half bad either. Watch the video above and download “Underwear” (plus one more from FM Belfast) below.
