I have always been a fan of this song but recently while researching I came across its video. I was surprised by the quality of its video; it is defiantly one of the best original videos I have seen in a long time. What I like best about this video is the Costumes and the Performance of all the actors taking part. The ridiculous retro costumes accompanied by big aviator sunglasses make the actors look odd; however the performance and attitude of the actors make the video great to watch.
The simple dance routines also stood out to me, they gave the video the simple but “summer-ish” feel. I think the producer of this video has made a great video for what seems to be a reasonably small budget; the small pub it was filmed in gave the video its calm old Mise En Scene which matches the costumes perfectly.
This video has many small details which when put together create an impressive originality, and because of those small details such as costume, setting, handheld camera angle, dance routines and the great miming/instrumental matching the video makes it unique. There is a good match of the characters playing the instruments to the other events which occur such as the dance routines which makes the video run smoothly and doesn’t seem “padded out”.
