metalocus, ANDRÉS RESTREPO

OneRepublic experiments with virtual reality in the music video for Kids, version 360. This audiovisual material is alternate footage to the main video of the fourth single from the album Oh My My released by the American band in 2016.

The production was made with the Nokia OZO camera, virtual reality technology operated by the studio Here Be Dragons, providing an interactive experience where viewers can appreciate the video through VR.

The story is set in an alley in Mexico City and tells the story of two young people who live in opposite buildings; the viewer's point of view swings between the rooms of the protagonists and the street that separates them, where a concert of the American band is personified.

Viewers can decide which specific parts of the scene they want to observe in the 360 video of the song Kids, to achieve this effect, the filming was done in a single shot that involved more than one hundred actors coordinated in a complex choreography.

The lyrics of the song written by the members of OneRepublic speak of the memories of childhood and adolescence, expressing nostalgia for events that occurred in times past. The narration developed in the video is related to the lyrics of the song, recounting a youth love story.

Lyrics.-

Days when
We'd fight, we'd fight till I would give in
Yeah, perfect disasters
We were reaching, reaching for the rafters

And on most of the days we were searching for ways
To get up and get out of the town
That we were raised, yeah
Because we were done
I remember, we were sleeping in cars
We were searching for Oz
We were burning cigars
With white plastics tips till we saw the sun
And we said crazy things like...

I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's around the corner
Way I feel right now
I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die

Lights down
And we drive and we're driving just to get out
Yeah, perfect disasters
Yeah, we were swinging, swinging from the rafters

Hey, we were dancing in cars
We were looking for ours
We were naming the stars
After people we knew
Till we had to go
And we were saying things like...

I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's around the corner
Way I feel right now
I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die

Nights when we kept dancing
Changing all our plans
And making every day a holiday
Feel the years start burning
City lights they're turning
Something about this feels the same

Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's around the corner
Way I feel right now
I swear we'll never change

You and me were kids
