crown Video

I wanted the visuals to be big, bold, and dynamic, fitting the tone of the song. My video represents how the persona of a public figure, and the actual person, are different, but intertwined. The images, overlaid with lyrics, are on a loop, and represent the public image, and the cycling and recycling of a persona. The images flicker and there is a noise grain throughout, representing the relentless harassment that comes with being famous, and flashes of paparazzi cameras. The flickers also show the in between empty frames that reveal the bottom layer, under all the images I used. Past the persona, down to the person. The noise is always there. This noise, though, gives a bit of cover to the real person, hiding in plain sight. Both the persona and person are one thing, and cant be separated. All the layers are needed for a full picture.
