Country music star Lauren Alaina‘s “What Do You Think Of?” duet with Danish pop sensation Lukas Graham now has a music video! The visual, directed by TK McKamy, marks the largest-scale Virtual Production (VP) shoot for a music video in the world – a major filmmaking achievement where the paths of video game industry and filmmaking converge.
The video features Alaina believably traveling through the seasons of her past relationship, manifested into four surreal environments: her bedroom, Smoky Mountains, a red-door bar, and a backyard campout. Logistically, director McKamy was able to unite both Alaina and Graham (who filmed his part in Denmark), separated by the Atlantic Ocean and COVID-19 travel restrictions to perform a duet in these worlds. With the Virtual Production approach, instead of the use of green screens, McKamy and his team built a 40 ft x15x12 ft curved LED volume which fully immersed Alaina and Graham in these four surreal memories. Watch it all come together below!
“What Do You Think Of?” Lyrics
Do you think of February?
So in love it was scary
We were just two hearts
Beating fast in the back yard
A cheap tent we bought at the Walmart
Or is it the kitchen
When we forgot how to listen?
At the end of July
You were mad, I was crying
On the edge of goodbye
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, when it’s late at night
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, when I cross your mind
What do you think of when you think of me?
When you look back on us what do you see?
Is it the good times? Is it the bad times?
Is it somewhere in between?
What do you think of when you think of me?
When I see the smoky mountains
I get kinda sad thinking ’bout it
I still got the air brushed t-shirt we wore all weekend
Girl, did you keep it?
I can’t even drive down 8th Avenue
‘Cause the whole damn town reminds me of you
But to tell you the truth, I don’t mind the reminders
They’re all I have left of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, when it’s late at night
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, when I cross your mind (When I cross your mind)
What do you think of when you think of me?
When you look back on us, what do you see?
Is it the good times? Is it the bad times?
Is it somewhere in between?
What do you think of when you think of me?
Oh-oh, do you want me back?
Tell me, would you take it back?
Boy, when you look back
Do you cry or laugh?
Mmm, mmm
Do you cry or laugh?
What do you think of, huh?
What do you think of? Oh-oh
And what do you think of, huh?
What do you think of when you think of me?
What do you think of when you think of me?
(What do you think of?)
When you look back on us what do you see?
Is it the good times? Is it the bad times?
Is it somewhere in between? (Oh)
What do you think of when you think of me? (Hey, yeah)
What do you think of when you think of me?
What do you think of when you think of me?
