The originality of many great movies comes from blending two seemingly different genres. Examples of genre mixing include “The God Father” (crime movie + family movie) and “Terminator” (sci fi + love story). We see this process with “Kicking The Clouds,” a music video that also is a travelogue.
The video features Lazy Habits, a misnamed six-piece, UK Hip Hop band. There is absolutely nothing lazy about their performance on stage, and their equally intense offstage activities during a tour of Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore.
“Kicking The Clouds” won the top music video award at this year’s iPhone Film Festival. The quick cutting, which goes back and forth from various music venues to travel and recreational sequences, perfectly captures the energy and playfulness of the musicians.
You can see and hear more of Lazy Habits on their YouTube channel, and follow them on Twitter and on Facebook. Their website is www.LazyHabits.com
“Kicking the Clouds” was chosen as a Mobile Movie of the Week.”
