Fair : Lyric Video

16mm and Super 8

Building New Worlds

Location scouting was a huge part of this project! We wanted to give the illusion that faybee and l.ucas were stuck in a maze. After bonding over our shared love for brutalist buildings we found UMASS Dartmouth, and architect Paul Rudolph’s designs to be the perfect backdrop and inspiration for the “Fair” music video’s labyrinth.

this stairwell was used to show l.ucas moving through the maze -- the two of them moved through different avenues, but existed in the same space.

we used these floating conversation pits to show dimension in our video. At one point we see faybee and l.ucas--- sitting in separate parts of the labyrinth -- finally in frame at the same time, although never fully crossing paths.
