SHAED: Once Upon A Time (Official VR 180° Music Video) - Apple Vision Pro version coming soon!
Listening to  @SHAED  's, "Once Upon a Time," in the midst of the most chaotic year in recent memory was like a breath of fresh air. The track is so human and accessible. We've all had a first love and felt the intensity that goes along with it. Even though those memories can be painful, "Once Upon a Time" invites you to explore them in a safe place, transported by a serene melody and fantastical instrumentation.
Aesthetically, we wanted to ground the video somewhere that matched our comfort while listening to the song. We developed a queer adaptation of the postwar, Ozzie and Harriet aesthetic. In this space, we reveled in the curl-your-toes excitement of young love and examined the pitfalls of trying to love someone while navigating the social constructs and identities. The dancers and choreography shift between gender roles, combining ballet and contemporary dance with sharp isolated movements and everyday gestures. This VR music video offers a level of intimacy not felt in traditional film and theater, so we played with that by juxtaposing moments of almost interactive closeups with more conventional choreography. All in all, this immersive experience, like the song, invites viewers to feel for something lost while still appreciating its beauty.

Lyrics:
Once upon a time
We were gonna fall in love
We were so sure
Blinded by the stars above

I tried and tried to warn you,
That I could fall apart

All of my walls came crashing down on you
You can't save me
All of my walls came crashing down on you
You can't change me

Once upon a time
We were gonna have a life
Had the car running
All you had to do was drive

I tried and tried to love you,
But I wasn't brave enough

All of my walls came crashing down on you
You can't save me
All of my walls came crashing down on you
You can't change me

shaed once upon a time
