'Fists Up' Paco The G Train Bandit ft. Billy Dean
For this project the director, artists and I wanted to create a backdrop for the two rappers to perform in front of that went along with the theme of corporate greed. We decided on a defaced $100 bill, adorned with a skull and various slogans.
The writing on the face: "Many Years" "Many Lives" "Many Teeth"- We wanted to portray greed as a predator. I gave Benjamin Franklin way too many teeth to make the image more sinister.
When Paco first appears we have him dressed in black with white accents and continue this scheme throughout the video in contrast with Billy Dean who wore blue and white to create a sharp contrast between the two performers especially given the low-light look of the video.
