KC Locke reunites with Manchester rapper Meekz for their biggest visual statement yet - a takedown of the copycats who have followed in his wake, riffing on the visual legacy that artist and director have built up in their previous collaborations.

The video for Mini Me's returns to the scenario of the breakthrough Like Me video, featuring several incarnations of the masked rapper in a studio setting. Then Meekz heads out of the studio, and into a fully-realised CGI-created world. This is the destroyed, abandoned city that dominates the second half of the video, with Meezk travelling through this dystopian scenario on a speeding freight train.

Make no mistake, it's an epic that is designed to dazzle. The first part features dizzying motion control work by G6Mocco, with Meekz scornfully taunting the plagiarists around him while floating and spinning through the air in a chair fixed to a massive robotic camera control rig, riding the machine like he’s at an amusement park. The second half of the video presents Meekz in a wild doomsday world with blazing effects created by VFX studio LMNTL. 

“Meekz wrote this song as a reaction to how others were stealing his brand and our style of filmmaking,” says Locke who has used motion control extensively in this video. The same is true in several of his other collaborations with the artist - but it's the first time Locke has had Meekz swung around by the Moco system's robot arm.

“We created something here that references our past work together and then moves beyond the pretenders who have copied and cloned him, and into the post-apocalyptic future where Meekz is the only artist left standing. It’s a powerful statement, expressed in artform.”
