Vitamin Pictures Finds “Happiness” in The Darkness

Jumpsuits, Speedos, mullets, and interspecies love keep the fun factor high in this vibrant music video romp from Chicago’s Vitamin Pictures for “Happiness” by over-the-top UK rockers The Darkness.

Daniel Pernikoff, Sr. art director at Vitamin Pictures in Chicago: “Working with a limited schedule and budget this was a fun passion project for the studio.

“The band gave us a brief description about the meaning of the song and we took that and turned it into a fun story capturing the essence of the song and the band.

“We worked closely with the lead singer of the band and the record label. After a round of tests and designs, the band was on board and wanted to see what fun things we came up with.”
