Music Video Of The Month: “Mini Me's” by Meekz, directed by KC Locke.
The music video for Meekz’s new single “Mini Me's” delivers a high-octane narrative that captivates from start to finish. This video is a testament to their collaborative genius, pushing the boundaries of music video production with a post-apocalyptic aesthetic that leaves a lasting impact.
Locke’s use of motion control is nothing short of revolutionary. In the video’s first half, Meekz is seen taunting his copycats while being spun and floated through the air, strapped to a colossal robotic camera rig. This visual spectacle transforms the rig into a co-star, enhancing the otherworldly atmosphere. As Meekz navigates this dystopian amusement park ride, the camera work creates a dizzying, immersive experience.
The second half plunges Meekz into a chaotic, doomsday environment, with breathtaking visual effects. Flames and ruins frame Meekz as he stands resilient amidst the devastation, symbolising his singularity in a world of clones.
“Meekz wrote this song as a reaction to how others were stealing his brand and our style of filmmaking,” Locke explains. “We created something here that references our past work together and then moves beyond the pretenders who have copied and cloned him, and into the post-apocalyptic future where Meekz is the only artist left standing. It’s a powerful statement, expressed in artform.”
“Mini Me's” is a statement of defiance and authenticity, a visual and auditory tour de force that firmly establishes KC Locke as a visionary director.
