“Body First” Music Video by Jane Zhang is the first “Invisible Music Video” in the history of music. It’s born from the creative genius of the director OUTERSPACE Leo, who has already directed several MVs for Jane Zhang: “I Am Mine/我是我的“, “BAZAAR” and the award-winning “Dust My Shoulders Off“.

Please try not to use the mobile phone to see, use the computer to see! And more you will be away from the screen, the more you get to see.

The director OUTERSPACE Leo talk about the MV

Invisible MV!!! I cooperated with Jane Zhang for her newest English single MV. Please try not to use the mobile phone to see, use the computer to see! And more you will be away from the screen, the more you get to see.

*About Jane Zhang’s “Body First” invisible MV creation concept:

This time, we tried to combine experimentation and art to create the invisible MV !!! When viewers watch the video, they may not see anything except a black and white striped image. But when they are away from the screen, all the images will appear again. The further away the image is, the clearer the image will be, especially on a TV screen.

The invisible MV makes great use of optical illusion and creates a world with a strong artistic sense in black and white. At the end of the MV, the collapse of the buildings hand in hand is a tribute to the classic scene of the movie “Fight Club”.

“Love can be seen from a distance, but not from the inside.” When you look at love from a distance you can see the whole picture of love.

* Body First – MV The story:

A man and a woman (symbolizing Adam and Eve), two people look affectionately at each other, they walk slowly into each other, they begin to touch, to explore all parts of their bodies, trying to hug , strong hug, as if to unite their bodies and their souls, finally, when they kiss, everything changes face.
The hand caressing the body leaves a trace and the strips in black and white begin to disintegrate taken away by the wind. Slowly the true self of the two people emerges from the black and white strips.

The man and the woman they could not believe the huge changes taking place before their eyes. They’re just excited to be able to each other to watch their bodies back to the real form. At the end they hold hands and the two-dimensional space made up of black and white stripes begins to dissolve.

Above is the ending scene of《Fight Club》movie. Fight Club is a 1999 film based on the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. It was directed by David Fincher and stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. Song: The Pixies《Where Is My Mind》.

In this video the director OUTERSPACE Leo talks about the making-of and the concept of Body First MV.

Do you want see Jane without the texture used for the optical illusion ? Well, take a look at this version of the Body First MV with both image versions, the original and the optical illusion ! Enjoy !

Jane Zhang Body First (Lyrics)

Try a new body, I
Stayed up all night, looking for something
Looking for someone who
Last longer than a night
I’m searching for purpose
From bar to bar, getting the numbers
But nothing ever sticks

Only you, only you
Only you get to me
Been with the others and I’ve always felt like leaving them
Only you, only you
Only you pleasure me
And I’m lovin’ how you make it feel so easy yeah

Want you as my company, my company
Cuz I love how you put my body first
Would you be my company, my company
For more than tonight, by my side

Want you as my company, my company
Cuz I love how you put my body first
Would you be my company, my company
For more than tonight, by my side

Body first, yeah (first)
Put my body first (first)
Body first, yeah (first)
(First)

You read every move so well
No need to talk, know what I want
It’s like I touch myself
You’re like no one else
Don’t care if the lights are on
I usually do but never with you
We take it as it comes
Sleepless until dawn

Only you, only you
Only you get to me
Been with the others and I’ve always felt like leaving them
Only you, only you
Only you pleasure me
And I’m lovin’ how you make it feel so easy yeah

Want you as my company, my company
Cuz I love how you put my body first
Would you be my company, my company
For more than tonight, by my side

Want you as my company, my company
Cuz I love how you put my body first
Would you be my company, my company
For more than tonight, by my side

Body first, yeah
Put my body first
Body first, yeah
Put my body first

Want you as my company, my company
Cuz I love how you put my body first
Would you be my company, my company
For more than tonight, by my side

Want you as my company, my company
Cuz I love how you put my body first
Would you be my company, my company
For more than tonight, by my side

Body first
