I was skeptical Ryan Hemsworth could top the breathtaking magnitude of his video for "Snow In Newark," but the producer has done it again. In his latest video for "Surrounded" from 2014's Alone for the First Time, Ryan wears a full-body motion capture suit and Ubisoft virtual reality headset to transport us into his own virtual reality where he finds himself performing at a huge warehouse party.
The virtual footage is spliced with the IRL Hemsworth in such a captivating way that makes it hard not to consider the blurred lines between our own reality and virtual reality in 2015. The whole thing feels like Sims meeting Tron meeting the playful mind of young Hemsworth, which proves once again to be an incredibly good thing. Watch the full video above. Find out more about what else Ryan is up to in our recent interview.
