New Papermaps Video For “Nobody Gets It”

“Nobody Gets It” is the first official single/video from the new Papermaps EP “Inferior Ghost”, which was released August 14, 2012. This video was directed and produced by Kerry Shaw and edited by Chris Minn.

Of the video, director Kerry Shaw says: “Nobody’s perfect. A notion we tend to forget when we look at our partner, our colleagues, our family, ourselves. We are creatures of expectation and with that comes the tendency to overlook just how amazing the people truly are around us. Papermaps have compiled a song that explores the anger in desiring perfection, the frustration of someone not living up to our idea of who we think they should be. Perfect. I contradict these lyrics with a montage of appreciation. Specifically, images of women. The female form, movement and overall imperfections and actions of women. All kinds of women. This is not an in-your-face, socio-political “oh, look at how women are being over-sexualized/distorted in media/over-beautified” kind of dialogue. Rather, this is a sort of study of the female face, body, hair, movement, etc. A slightly dark celebration”.

Enjoy !
