Video: The Kickdrums – Things Work Out

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Directed by Rik Cordero:

Visually collaborating with the homies Fitts and Tilla from The Kickdrums is always dope. For this video, “Things Work Out”, the concept was inspired by the butterly effect scene from “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button”. By definition, a butterfly effect involves random scenarios and “what ifs” where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes. Fortunately for our story, “Things Work Out”.
