One adjective above all others applies to Emil Nava's new Calvin video: icy. It's so icy, in fact, it has towering blocks of ice around "stone-cold diva" Kehlani, and Lil Yachty is performing on a ice sports car. You heard that right. A sports car made of ice. How cool is that?Above all, Nava shows his mastery of the pop video medium with Faking It, collaborating with legendary DoP Martin Coppen to achieve a great look. The mix of formats and double exposures is classy, and it's a lovely edit by Sean Fazende, and grade by Aubrey Woodiwiss.There's no faking that this is a very cool (as well as icy) video.
