Synopsis
Nightmares on Wax's "Be, I Do" video works as a loose visual scrapbook rather than a conventional narrative. Footage of George Evelyn performing, traveling, and working in the studio is woven together with colorful psychedelic animation. The shifting images move between documentary-style glimpses and dreamlike abstractions, reflecting the relaxed, exploratory character of the track. Together, the footage presents Nightmares on Wax as both a touring live act and a studio-based project shaped by years of musical activity.
