The Red Hot Chili Peppers have released their new music video for Look Around – The I’m With You single will be released on March 5th, 2012. The band performed in separate rooms in one take and all four were filmed simultaneously by a rig of four cameras!
Each room loosely represents the band members’ personalities, so almost all the props and artwork in the rooms came from their personal collections.
See below for Look Around director, Robert Hales’ thoughts on the new music video. Stadium-Arcadium.com also spoke to director of photography, Alejandro Lalinde.
“I can say that the band were great to work with real gentlemen, and it was a genuinely collaborative process,” said Look Around director Robert Hales. “They were all extremely involved creatively.”
All four rooms were filmed simultaneously with four cameras. Instead of having a drawn-out day of shooting, the band completed the video within four whole takes, which Robert Hales said, is “very impressive.” “They had a very clear idea of how they wanted to perform and they nailed it. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I’m very proud of what we created.”

“It was amazing to finally see the Red Hot Chili Peppers interact with their environment and boy they had a lot of fun,” said Alejandro.
They are an amazing group of artists and professionals that were ready with their A-game once on set. The best part was actually seeing that first shot roll and seeing them perform within the environments and that to me put a smile on my face.
I grew up with their music and to see them do their thing was a rewarding experience. When you put great artists in front of a camera, everything changes….it was amazing!”

Who’s the pink haired girl?
Charlotte Free Is the pink haired girl. She’s a model.
cool / fantastic
Very perfect!
Lol very funny!
Why isn’t Josh really doing anything? He is a very good musician but I’m having such a hard time really getting into him being in the band because so little is known about him. We all know a lot about the other members (and I feel like fans have strong connections with them because of that) but with Josh he’s just kinda…there. I would love to see him open up and see who he really is and let fans connect more, other than that I can’t really complain.
He’s been THE guitar player for a year so what’s the rush. Naturally we’re going to know all about Anthony and Flea because they’re SO out-front and have been around for decades. The last thing I want is Josh feeling he needs to force himself and his personality out there so that he can catch up with the other guys in the band. Plus, maybe that IS his personality. Honestly, I kind of miss the days of not knowing EVERYTHING about everyone, because of the internet.
I’m not bashing him at all, please read my reply to the comment below and maybe I can clarify what I was trying to say a little better.
he is an introverted person. what’s wrong with that?
josh just isn’t the get-up-go-nuts guy and that is fair enough.
and he doens’t owe us any home stories or funny stories about his childhood either.
You guy’s don’t need to get so upset I’m not bashing him at all, I like his style and I accept that maybe that just is in his nature to be a quiet person. I’m not demanding to hear all of his secrets and know his entire life story, for me personally, I just like knowing some things about artists because I like knowing why they do what they do and how they were feeling when they wrote a song a like. So calm down and enjoy the music
Thanx Laura!
But is she friends with Anthony, like close friends or something?
’cause she’s with his dog and his son!
Must be a pretty important person in their lives, no?
It’s funny !!!! Tous des menteurs……..!! I am not stupid and I understand everything……. The lyrics In / out ………!!!! Ridiculous by the way !!!! “A stupid Factory” !!!!
