Synopsis
In a stark white studio, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs appears in an extravagant feathered costume as metallic confetti erupts around him. The performance gradually expands from isolated close-ups and abstract costume details into a full electronic spectacle, with illuminated equipment, dancers and a crowd entering the frame. UV lighting transforms the palette into neon blues, purples and pinks, while slow motion emphasizes the glitter, smoke and physical energy of the beat. The result is a deliberately surreal celebration of performance, color and dance-floor release.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was created as a collaboration between TEED and ADAM, and was released in May 2012 ahead of the debut album *Trouble*.
- It uses roughly half of the instrumental track "American Dream Part II," rather than presenting the complete album recording.
- The elaborate feather collar and glitter-covered styling extend the flamboyant visual identity TEED had already established through his live performances.
- TEED said the video's overall concept was his own, while acknowledging that the finished effect was difficult to imagine during production.
- In an interview, he noted that the costumes looked unconvincing while they were still being assembled. The finished video turns those deliberately excessive materials into a polished visual spectacle.
- Confetti was already a recurring feature of TEED's live shows, making its central role here a direct link between the studio video and his concert presentation.
