Declan McKenna 'Beautiful Faces' by Will Hooper
Rob Ulitski - 31st Jan 2020
Declan Mckenna performs in a fluffy cloud like world that descends into glitchy chaos in Will Hooper's video for Beautiful Faces.Â
Opening with a studio setup of Declan and his band, the utopian visuals are crammed full of colour and anachronistic styling. Within moments, the video is glitching with odd frames spliced between shots, the dreamy aesthetic slowly corrupting and morphing into something unusual.Â
Utilising AR technology, the visuals become more and more CGI-driven, the artist's likeness bending, transforming and flying through the sky. Reminiscent of a fatal computer error in The Sims, the characters melt into the walls, duplicate and bend their limbs into unhuman form.
This balance of live action and visual effects is an interesting departure for Will Hooper - who's last released video is a furiously intense video for Slaves - topped off with a confident and assured performance from McKenna.Â
