Band creates a trippy music video using Zoom

Artists are still shooting music videos — they're just over Zoom now.

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, a band based in California, which has a statewide stay at home order, filmed the video for their song "Phenom" over the video conferencing software. It starts with singer and frontrunner Thao Nguyen opening the app. Background dancers join the call as the beat picks up.

The choreography involves dancers appearing to fall into each other's calls, pour water into each other's mouths, and rage in coordination. Then, the the dancers converge around Thao and form a humanoid figure through Zoom's grid.

Social distancing doesn't mean that creative projects — like this music video — are on hold. "Phenom" is proof.
