A word of warning: if you’re not fantastically keen on imagery of a pornographic nature then don’t watch this video.

For Kid Cudi’s Pursuit Of Happiness, directing collective Megaforce yet again display an excellent knack for the surreal – with seamless camera trickery, apparent zero gravity and otherworldliness in what is all in all, a very imaginative promo.
