The Making Of Drake's "Hotline Bling" Video With Director X | Framework
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Drake’s “Hotline Bling” video remains one of the most-memed moments of the past few years, with the OVO boss' goofy dance moves inspiring a wide array of parodies from good (Ellen’s fake Bernie Sanders) to terrible (Donald Trump on SNL). The video dropped in October 2015 and has since earned over 1.3 billion RUclips views. Genius linked up with Director X to break down how the legendary video came together.

SICKO MODE PLA
Okay but this guy is an og legend in the music video game! Big respect
Next to Hype Williams
Lowkey sounds like Seth rogen
Leonardo Sosa lol !
lol i was looking for someone to mention it
My RUclips was on auto play, and I thought it was just Seth Rogan making jokes about the video lol. I switched over to the window and was shocked it wasn't Seth Rogan.
I cant really believe Genius doing this for us video directors. We are really so far from the light/credit we actually deserve. But i guess that people just simply dont know the work and creativity behind.. What a blessing. Thank you.
This is so cool on so many levels, lol. The work that goes into making a "set" is amazing. Then POST production editing out and adding things... amazing.
I LOVE that genius is giving voice to the people who works making a song (and a videoclip). And I enjoy watching It.
Monumental tactics brother. I've always said the best videos you do are the ones that look like the artist is having legitimate fun. The videos that happen almost by themselves. I must admit at first I didn't get it, but I did over time. I have a feeling your openings will change again. Keep creating and making history my friend...Ase'.
I appreciate that you guys added in that touch of the sliding black bars for the beginning of this video for Director X lol
Ok!
Uhh Dexter Ya dig _uh what_
nut master wassup bay baye how do you use *Italics* ?
Ajit Pai Headass use underscores instead of asterisks
nut master _Deadass?_
Ajit Pai Headass -nah fam, imma need you to -*-cool it-*
the video, just makes the song just as CLASSIC. Dir. X is a GOAT man. true inspiration!
he sounds like Seth Rogen
seth rogen doing a voiceover for this guy?
If he did the laugh that would be spot on!
Seth rogen?
He does sound like him.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING LMAO
Must be a Canadian thing
this made me wanna go watch the Hotline Bling video again
Oh, I love this series but 2 weeks without a Deconstructed video Genius I'm panicking lmao.
it's coming soon
I trust you
THAT HOTLINE BING, THAT CAN ONLY MEAN ONE TING
this joke will only makes sense to people who saw the title "hotline bing" before they changed it... 😂
The ting goes skrrrrrrraaaaaa
*bling
I really love these videos, I just gained so much context, appreciation, and history for Director X now
I love how GENIUS is shedding light on all the creative aspects of music. Video producers, Audio Producers/Beat Makers, and the actual artist 🔥🔥
Its great to finally see Director X, i always paid attention to the storytelling in Director X's music video ans thankyou so much Genuis!! We want more framework
I love this framework series. Keep them coming. I'd like to see interviews with directors "Be El Be" and Benny Boom!
6:04- 6:05
perfect timing
that was intentional -_-
It’s called editing
"That " Best drops
that my friend is called editing
i grew up in the early 2000s wondering why all those r&b started with that signature intro. cool to finally see who the actual director is
This song was popular when I was in 7th grade, I’m a freshman now!
X inspires me so much. Such an amazing artist/creator
Wow he has directed alot of bangers🔥🔥
more of this!!
Did genius upload it on internet explorer tho?
Where is the part where they listen to D.R.A.M for six hours straight😂😂😂😂😂?
I was thinking if they would mention D.R.A.M , haha
KIDW00LF it does lol
shots fired!
KIDW00LF Because the original title for Hotline Bling was literally Cha Cha Remix lol
KIDW00LF Lol that's false. It was first heard on Drake’s Beats 1 Radio show, OVO Sound, and was even tweeted from Beats 1's account as “Hotline Bling (Cha Cha Remix)". Check any blog when Hotline Bling was originally released, it was referred to as Cha Cha Remix.
Edit: And I'm not denying that they sample two different songs. It's just a fact that Drake was heavily inspired by Cha Cha even to the point of calling it a remix originally.
Super cool! Makes you appreciate more the art put into the project
This series is absolutely amazing. I've been looking around for more and more music video directing content over the last few months and randomly decided to search "hotline bling bts." Thanks for this!
This is great! Love that everyone in the culture can now get some shine for their work.
This social media shit is dope
"Real nerds wonder how we got this light.......well there's actually lights"
yess keep making these! love to see the directors breaking everything down
The *gifs* and *memes* dis songs generated were -endless-
I see drake’s name in the title so I click !!!!
The Princess That Glows drake is ass
Rinny Blaze funny you say that but you’re here to know more about a video he’s in...
Rinny Blaze L
Im here for how they did the music video set because it had a cool vibe to it but hotline bling was ass and so was drake
Drake is so dead and is falling off this video needs all the views it can get if you want to keep your savior drake in the business.
This videos starting and ending is same type as Director X's, nice job Genius!
Who else thinks his dancing isn’t that bad
Director X 🔥🔥a Toronto native been a major influence for a lot of famous music videos
Genius is always the first to make content on brand-new songs
Love these and the deconstructed videos.
Julian Lutz better known as Director X, Little X, Mr. X, or just simply X is a legendary video director from Toronto, Canada that's been in the game for almost 20 years doing Nelly, Drake, Sean Paul, Usher and more.
I love this guy! He's got a known history of good music Videos! And explains this one well.
Great series, this and the producer one do a great job of bringing light to the other creators involved in music, keep it up !
keep doing these!
Wish he went into how they got the color changes/mixtures so perfectly
I love this! Would love to see more videos like this
I really appreciate Genius for giving credit to the producers in the form of these short video. No one has ever done that before.
Let's go! After giving the producers their series now I love how the filmmaker get their deserved attention as well;)
Genius you need to make videos on the DESIGN of album covers!!
Directors need more love cos the people doing Kendrick's recent stuff are visionaries
I love Genius for creating content like this
What an incredibly satisfying career. Beautiful work.
director X goat damn all trhem videos i never knew he directed
This was the first vid from where I started catching up with drake and man director X is lit af. I watched SUPERFLY right now a few days ago seemed and looked lit and as the credits rolled out I came to know it was directed by our one and only X. Superb direction there my man. I think after this one and one dance drake was all over the place.

Thank you Genius for putting a spotlight on directing
Damn! All these year I've been thinking that the director of That video is anonymous so they just wrote "Director X"
Director X looks like a super cool dude to vibe with
Please keep this series going!
