Ennui (2012)
by Shinies

“When we think about our childhood nostalgically, we think of a time of innocence. Boredom never existed and summers would last forever, pop culture icons and cartoons were our religion.

In “Ennui” we wanted to take these memories and drag them kicking and screaming into the bleak reality of modern day. We wanted to play sadistically with them to give them a new, warped meaning.
Pat Sharp was always our first choice to star in the video. We grew up with him on Saturday morning TV; all of us hold fond memories of him. He represents so much of what was fun about being young in the 80’s and 90’s. With his clean cut image and iconic haircut, he was the perfect candidate to help turn our happy memories into nightmarish reality.”
