24 Hours of Happy (3PM)

Apr 13, 2014 16:48

Well, this was an odd hour. It starts out very spirited. For the first time in the entire 24 hours, the audio changes as Pharrell Williams dances in front of a choir, which adds a nice harmonic "Happy" to the vocals. It's a nice portion, and has a rather epic sound.

We explore the church a little bit, before going outside, and ending up in the suburbs of LA again. The dancers are a mixture of spirited and decent. The producers have gotten savvy because they've moved between indoor locations, never sticking around too long, and constantly exploring different parts of the building.

However, once out in the neighborhood, there was a ton of glare. The 3PM sunlight is a little lower in the sky, so I can understand. It feels like a good counterpoint to the late-night videos, where there was no light at all.

We have a wonderful girl in a wedding dress, who I at least got one good shot away from the glare, and also a fun girl in yellow, who I barely got to see at all. I'm surprised it has as many views as it does on YouTube, but I think the movement through various indoor locations, and the solid dancers seem to keep everyone's attention.

Aside from the glare, I think the only issue is the sameness of all the dancers, with not as much variety. But it was still enjoyable.

I'm actually not sure what building they end with. Maybe a library, or a museum? However, there's a fade out at the end of the hour, so it seems this is also the first video that does not take us to William's next location on the final location.
