I Like To Move In Here

“I Like to Move in Here” by Moby:

From YT synopsis: “An octopus disguises himself as a human and wanders around New York City looking for a club.”

This awesome music video was directed by puppeteer extraordinare and creative visionary, Toben Seymour. I wonder what camcorders they used for this shoot that captured the low light club atmosphere so well. I myself find it hard when shooting indoors for live music or in a club environment to duplicate the color and light levels. Sometimes the lighting scheme on stage enhances your video, while other times I’ve ended up with bad sound and dark blurry amorphous footage. Thankfully, Toben and his team actually know what they’re doing and created a fun and entertaining music video for Moby.
