Goldfrapp || Happiness (New Dougal Wilson!!!)

The latest from my favorite director Dougal Wilson.

This video will make you happy. Maybe not as happy as Feist’s “1234″, but pretty close. Although not as visually dazzling as Wilson’s last Goldfrapp video, this is pretty sweet.

In the video, the lead actor jumps to the beat, and encounters some colourful character’s along the way. In true Dougal Wilson style, there are some camera tricks, and Goldfrapp appears throughout, performing the song and dressed in some interesting outfits.

The video really captures a mood and environment so suited for the song. Big props to the steadi-cam operator for making the one-shot feel so smooth seamless. The visual effects are subtle, but there are some there. Any guesses where?

Watch the QuickTime. The link is currently down but Colonel Blimp should have it back up soon. For now  check out the YouTube version. Sigh.

Directed by Dougal Wilson through Colonel Blimp.
