Tesla Boy ‘Circles’ Video

teslavid

Russian band Tesla Boy reconnect with director Ryan Patrick for their latest video ‘Circles’. Utterly comical, you have a guy in a Chinese restaurant who continually change faces whilst a waving roast chicken seems to be calling and enticing him. Technically the transforming guy is supposed to meet up with a female who he connected with through a dating app, only for her to arrive and witness the strange chap flipping out and yet again, transforming on a small stage. Is it weird? Of course! However, you can’t help but laugh throughout the showing.

Touching on the concept of the video, director Ryan Patrick wrote:

“The idea for this came from the band referencing referencing Cloud Atlas—my mind went to the actors playing different roles,” explains Patrick. “For me, the final treatment came from mixing references of the film Holy Motors, Mission Impossible (both of which I love), and old cartoons where a character is striving for an inanimate object that always seems to be getting away. The video also serves as a prequel to Tesla Boy’s Nothing video we released back in March. But I tried to make it so “Circles” could also stand its own too.”
