The concept centered around a mysterious woman in a catsuit scaling the exterior of a hotel while chaos unfolded inside, blending rock-and-roll excess with an increasingly absurd chain of events.
One of the most ambitious sequences involved filming Orianthi on a wire rig against green screen and compositing her onto the side of the former Redbury Hotel in Hollywood. Because the performance had to feel as though she was genuinely climbing the building, the process required careful planning during production and extensive visual effects work in post. Every shot needed to balance realism with the heightened, comic-book energy of the video, from camera movement and perspective to integrating her performance seamlessly into the environment.
As the editor, my focus was on escalating the chaos. The video constantly builds upon itself, introducing new characters, visual gags, and increasingly outrageous situations—from hungover partygoers and police raids to attack dogs and an accidentally armed microwave bomb. The challenge was maintaining clarity while continually raising the stakes, making sure each beat topped the last without losing the audience along the way.
