RJD2 - Work It Out

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 7 years 3 months 4 weeks ago

This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day. In time to Rjd2's song "Work It Out" we follow Bill as he makes his way around. At the slow start, Bill is descending the courthouse steps in downtown Brooklyn. It's difficult, but he makes it down and the rest you'll just have to watch to understand. Rjd2 plays several extras which you can try to spot as well. The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song.

Awesome... is the sound kinda f**ked up though? Or is it just me?

..yes the quality of the sound and images (a little vertically stretched?) is not optimal.

Nice video concept.

Upvote. I love RJD2. My favorite work of his has got to be without a doubt Ghostwriter. I feel more RJD2 submissions coming on. If someone else doesn't do it, I will.
