Baby Alpaca | Wild Child | Official Video
Here's the new video for "Wild Child" from Baby Alpaca. Read on for a statement from the artist, and an interview:
A few years ago I spent a week in the Sahara desert. Being only with the sand and sky gave me a clarity that I'd never experienced before. In conceptualizing the video for "Wild Child," I found surrealism was the best way to emulate the feeling that I had in the Sahara. The video has been a collaboration and project of love with friends and fellow artists: Brian Leckrone and Adrian Stucker executed the shoot on the outskirts of Palm Springs, while artist and special effects genius Aaron Maurer handled all the post-production magic.
We'd like to thank everyone that helped us—especially the man in the parking lot that let us drive his Plymouth, The Row for making fit-for-the-desert leather pants, and John Varvatos for creating Converse sneakers that can walk the dunes for miles.
