Synopsis
Kate Micucci wanders through Los Angeles with her guitar, turning an ordinary walk into a playful, handmade daydream. The video places her among dusty film reels, old VHS tapes, classroom-style audiovisual equipment, and shifting images of the city. Its homespun visual language mirrors the song's gentle humor as Micucci celebrates Los Angeles landmarks and everyday frustrations, including parking meters and the familiar joke that nobody walks in L.A. The result is a whimsical portrait of the city, filtered through curiosity, nostalgia, and low-tech movie magic.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was built around the idea of an old A/V room filled with dusty film reels and dated VHS tapes, giving the song a deliberately nostalgic setting.
- The production combines Super 8, 16mm film, VHS, and HD footage. An HD camera fitted with a Letus 35mm adapter was also used.
- The video was produced by Zak Mechanic, with cinematography by Zack Savitz.
- The song appeared on Micucci's early Songs EP. The track is listed as a 2008 release in the official digital distribution information, while some later platforms date the EP to 2009.
- The lyrics engage with Los Angeles stereotypes rather than presenting the city as a conventional postcard destination. References to meter maids, the Walk of Fame, and the idea that nobody walks in Los Angeles give the song its comic edge.
- The filmmaker's online presentation describes the piece as a "moment-in-time" music video, an apt description of its improvised, tactile blend of formats and playful visual artifacts.
