10 Days of YYC’s favorite videos: Day 5

Ahhhhhh! There are so many really amazing videos that I want to share. We should have called these on going write-ups, “1,000 Days of YYC’s favorite videos.” However, we chose 10, so David and I will have to choose carefully. This one is definitely a favorite for us both…

Anna Sun, by Walk the Moon, is really an incredible song. It’s the type of music that causes your head to bob and your fingers to tap on the steering wheel without realizing it. Then once you really know the song, it’s difficult to not shamelessly belt it out in your car while your neighbor at the stoplight watches and laughs.

Walk the Moon’s music video for Anna Sun is the perfect compliment to the song. It has everything you want in an upbeat, joyful, modern day ballad… Lots of smiling faces, slow-motion keytar playing (yes, keytar), choreographed dancing, face paint, and lot of bright colors. I realize after writing that it sounds like I am describing a Polyphonic Spree video, but the truth of the matter is that it almost could be. Except that Anna Sun is infinitely less cheesy / cult-y and a way more cool / indie-y. The team that created this fantastic piece is Contrast Productions and I fully expect to see more great things from them in the future. 

Watch this video, then watch it again… before you know it, you’ll be humming the tune and showing all your friends this crazy video with an awesome dance scene.

Enjoy? Let us know…
