Hope Kemp and Ronan Corrigan celebrate carefree youth in their latest video for The Academic. Shot under a beautiful sunset, the video for Acting My Age features a handful of cast members who race around the beach in a car, messing around and having fun. Focusing on emotion and snippets of memories instead of a traditional narrative, the visual is a montage of experiences which pay homage to life, love and youth. DoP George Barnes captures the hyperactive energy of the concept through handheld camera movement and unique angles, mixing a documentary-style aesthetic with more playful setups.
