David Lewandowski: Friendly Fires ‘Hurting’

David Lewandowski’s short film, Going to the Store, polarized the internets. Some loved it. Some hated it. And some people reenacted it.

Lewandowski’s back with a music video for Hurting by the Friendly Fires. It’s a sweet take on the age-old story of boy lusts for girl, girl has hot legs and crushing power over boy (perhaps these are interrelated), but boy just can’t stay away.

I dig the fun, Gondry meets high-end homebrew VFX, feeling. And I love the in-camera lighting, created by velcro-ing literibbon and litecards to a balaclava.

Q&A with dlew coming soon.
