00:01Modern Times is a cry for emotions.
00:07It is the first thing that gets the wheel turning on the album
00:11towards this state of high-velocity emotion.
00:19Are you ready for the magic?
00:26Welcome to the Modern Times video. We're in Vienna.
00:30Hi, guys. My name is Jessie. I'm doing styling for Mika's music video, Modern Times.
00:40And this is my assistant, Jisoo.
00:43Hi, I'm Jisoo.
00:45I prepare a lot of bigger shapes, big shoulders.
00:48And there are also some outfits that look a bit weird.
00:53These are my amazing dancers and they're doing this amazing choreography around me
01:01whilst I'm dressed like someone in the Addams fan.
01:06Vienna is a very small city and in this small bubble we met Rupert Höller.
01:13Hey, I'm Rupert Höller and I'm the director of this music video. Action!
01:21Rupert is a super talented director, but this is the most uncomfortable position I've ever taken in a music video.
01:29He made some magical cinema.
01:33It's super fun with him and he's such a sweet and nice person and it's really fun to like bounce back ideas
01:38and it's a really cool creative process and I really enjoy it.
01:42It's really hard to do it and stay back.
01:49God, give me a reason.
01:51I just woke you up, huh?
01:55Hallo, hallo.
01:56Hallo, hallo.
01:57Hey guys, I'm Alex. I do the production design for the new music video with my wonderful colleague, Julia.
02:04That's me.
02:05For the shoot, we're trying to aim for a forced perspective.
02:12You have to calculate the measurements, the distance between Mika and the pieces
02:18and it will look like he's right within the elements.
02:26Mad.
02:30Crazy miniatures.
02:32I love that.
02:39Mika has a strong aura, for sure.
02:44He's engaging well with our props. I mean, that's what makes us happy.
02:51Super friendly.
02:53He talks a lot.
02:56It's very hot.
02:57It's very hot, yeah.
03:00Today, he asked us for some coffee, but from a filter machine.
03:05Normally, everyone wants coffee from a really high-class coffee machine.
03:11And he was like, no, it's much better with the filter coffee machine.
03:16So, that was really surprising.
03:20Two seconds.
03:21Of course.
03:22Of course.
03:23Of course.
03:24Let me see that.
03:26Yes, this is perfect.
03:27Very good.
03:28Thank you very much.
03:29Here you go.
03:30Bye-bye.
03:31Bye-bye.
03:32I don't even need to go to Mika.
03:34He comes to me when he needs me.
03:36It was hard work and horrible and really exhausting.
03:50No, I'm joking.
03:51It was a pleasure, really.
03:52That's a wrap for Mika.
03:55Thank you, everybody.
03:59We nailed this one.
