Digital Good Time: "Baby Baby Baby"

Digital Good Time: "Baby Baby Baby"

Damn. People sure are making creative use of nudity and censor bars in music videos lately. Last year there was Keith Schofield's video for the Brighton Port Authority, then there was Brooklyn duo Matt and Kim's "Lesson Learned" video, and now comes French electropop duo Make The Girl Dance with "Baby Baby Baby". Does the amount of female nudity in this video have anything to do with why I'm writing about it in a feature where I typically only write about videos with some artistic brilliance? Heeeeeeeeellllll yeah Maybe, but you do have to appreciate the direction in this video. I mean, France may be a much less sexually conservative country than the states, but I'm pretty sure orchestrating three naked chicks walking down the street in one take without interruption is no small feat.

The main thing I wonder about this video, from a purely technical standpoint of course, is if they put trackers on the nipples. If you've ever tried to track movement in post-production to add a graphic element (in this case the censor bars), you'll know that tracking markers makes the job a cinch compared to the time-consuming duty of doing it all manually in post. The movement on those censor bars seems way too accurate to have been done manually if you ask me. Plus, having tracking censors would definitely have skirted (juuuust barely) any public indecency laws that may have hindered production. Hmm...anyway, just watch it; and if it wasn't obvious: NSFW!!!
