Jimmy Boyle Whirling Through Times Square

When Kelly Cutrone introduced me to Jagger and Chilli Peppers producer Jimmy Boyle he played me his new song Butterfly. The song was so powerful that this music video just had to happen. One night I asked Jimmy to hold the camera and spin while singing the song all through the streets of  New York City. He whirled from downtown New York through Musegarden studio to Times Square in 60 takes and didn’t even throw up once.

   Nice video concept. It properly evokes busy city lights and the creativity of the song and the video. I hope Jimmy didn’t get to dizzy from spinning sixty times. And I hope you won’t make him do it again for his next video. His stomach might just give way the next time.
