I've been talking to music video director Xavier Ruffin about the video for Gerald Walker's "Please Shut The F*** Up" semi-regularly over the last month or so and the conversation was always left at how good the video is going to be and how much I'm going to like it.
Today the video premiered on Dailymotion.com's front page and I have to say that Ruffin was right, the video is very good and I absolutely do like it.
Always one to toy with editing techniques, Ruffin gives us a kaleidoscope-themed visual that is very symbolic of the two-faced presentation people can often give an artist.
The video, as with his other work with Walker and other artists, tells a story in an intriguing way that takes an already quality song and now tips the scales even further in its favor.
This video definitely gets a "two thumbs up" from me. What about you?
