Sky Ferreira shares new "Omanko" video
Alt. pop singer/songwriter Sky Ferreira has unveiled her new video "Omanko", mostly shot by Zachary Cole Smith of DIIV, her partner.
Speaking about the clip - pointedly not an official video - Ferreira told her Twitter legions that she also had grand visual plans for Night Time, My Time. She also made a few good, if a bit cynical, remarks about the process of pop videos, which you can read below, before the "Omanko" visuals.
The Omanko video was just ton of footage @DIIV & I made (originally without any intention of making anything out of it).U know...for fun?!

I originally planned on making official videos for most of the songs on the record...but...

I could never get the budget I needed in order to make the videos that I wanted to make. It's all or nothing.

It's a shame. Because labels/managers etc don't think it's necessary unless it's a single.

When it comes to singles (specifically pop music). They think single=radio=maybe music video if it gets on radio.

...and you can't get on the radio if nobody is promoting you.

All of the videos for Night Time,My Time were either paid by me,sponsored, or were miracles made by @grant_singer

That's why I don't understand why people get angry about product placement in music videos. If it's done tastefully.
