Weird Al shines in his role, effortlessly blending his iconic humor with the nostalgic visual language of the era. Paired with Clairo’s timeless voice, the mix somehow just makes sense.
Terrapin is Edebiri’s directorial debut in the Music Video space. Bringing together creative powerhouses in the industry and fusing together hyperrealism, homages to old Hollywood, and a comedic reverence, Clairo’s notable conversation pits utilised in her live shows bring spectators into her universe even more intimately, thanks to the camerawork of cinematographer Sean Price Williams.
Final Cut editor Matt Carter imbues the visual with a dream-like quality, taking viewers on a journey from the moment Weird Al exits the nostalgic built brownstone. There’s a sentimentality echoed throughout and the glamour of the sequins and the spotlights shining on the subjects, provide a window into what feels like a dream of hypnotic performances.
