LaraMay Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) THE VIDEO IS OUT! [YOUTUBE]3b8btcCmL0c[/YOUTUBE] MAKING OF: https://vimeo.com/64169748 Thought it'd be practical to have a seperate thread for this, the video looks like it's going to be stunning Concept (according to Mika): He goes out into the ocean on a boat, running away from a burning world. He's got the last piece of light that's left in the world, in a bag. He gets thrown overboard in a storm and some underwater freaks steal (after freaking him out?) his light and leave him tied up and left for dead on the bottom of the oceanfloor. We'll see... from Mika's Instagram unknown source @itgirlforever: @NorrisXThrash styling British singer, #MIKA for his upcoming music video "Underwater" Ashamed to admit that I'm still not sure whether this is Mika or not lol (edit: probably not lol and I need glasses, but admit it; He does have similar facial features as Mika) MIKA official @mikasounds Wetsuit anyone?

dcdeb Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So this maximaximaxi seems to be a makeup guy, and look who's on the front page of his website: http://maximaximaxi.com/ Didn't I read somewhere that Mika said he was going to direct this video? Or did I dream it? (Entirely possible!) I'm anxious to see how this turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 No, it's not Mika! I mean, come on girls -- you study every pore on his face, and every inch of his body in the Mikagasmic and other photo threads! You must be able to see that! The skin is too fair, there's no chest hair, the hair's too blonde and he's just not tall and thin enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreame makeup - Skin color 2. Shaving - Body hair 3. Hair dye - Hair color 4. Mika has stilts - Hight 5.

LaraMay Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 This is all my fault lol I guess he's not Mika since he's simply not as stunningly gorgeous as he usually would be Although that guy isn't bad looking at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 90% of my mind says " Yes , that's MIKA " but the other 10% is like " Nah , that's not him " I see the 90% is comeing from them curls but , mabey It's just me but the 10% is the color it seems like a light brown / tanish color So , yeah I certainly couldn't say. I didn't recognise Mika when he came out to a M&G wearing a woolen hat. someone had to tell me it was him. But that's because I'm face-blind. But you know, a brilliant vid would do wonders for Mika. He's a better actor than he gives himself credit for, and tbh, I've not really been that impressed with his vids, apart from Happy Ending. An imaginative fantasy vid could really do wonders for the song. My son (also 29) always says that Mika's vids let him down, as these days, that's often what sells the song and gets it played on the music channels. I agree with my son. Maybe Mika sould direct all his vids, after all, as the old saying goes. "If you want something doing right, do it yourself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
