Ylvis – The Fox [Cover Music Video HD]

The idea to recreate the music video for “The Fox” by Ylvis was instantly apparent to me as I was watching the video at 11pm on the evening of the videos release date. If you have not watched the original video, make sure to watch it before you watch our version. I was not even finished watching the video before I fired off a text to James and Anthony about how this had to be our next video project. At that point the video had just broke one million views. As we post our version of the video, it has reached 15 million views. Ylvis is a Norwegian variety show similar to Saturday Night Live here in the US. The two main characters in the music video are brothers who do this show and have created a few songs with music videos over the last few years. “The Fox” seems to be the one that will make them a household name in the US. This video is on par to be a smash hit like “Gangnam Style” was last year. The video is silly and meant to be a joke as are the other music videos they have created. The whole idea is poking fun at the fact that most people have no idea what sound a fox makes.

We had to remove the audio from our Youtube version at the request of Youtube. It’s a copyright thing… Watch it on Vimeo.

We find that the best way to learn new ways of doing something is to test ourselves. Videos like this are a great example of testing our abilities under pressure to get something up first before someone else does. Whether or not our video gets a lot of views is not the goal, we just like having fun and trying new things. That is what being a digital media agency is all about. We don’t take ourselves too serious, but we let our work speak for itself.

I hope you enjoyed this video, we sure had a good time putting it together. Below is a list of people who were involved. Make sure to give some love to our makeup artist.

Producer/Director/Camera/Fox/Backup Dancer: Jerad Hill
