Missy Elliott Is Back With WTF Video!!!
After a extended hiatus from making sick tracks Missy Elliott Is Back With WTF Video that mixes fashion foward with funky beats a dope visuals.
CelebNMusic247.com has your first look in case you haven’t see Missy Elliott new song/video “WTF.” The “Get Ur Freak On” MC is back to taking the airwaves by storm with her new video “WTF” featuring Pharrell Williams in one of the dopest videos to hit Revolt.
Elliott and Meyers have teamed for 11 videos, starting with 2001’s “Get Ur Freak On,” and they’ve produced such highlights as “Gossip Folks,” “Work It,” and “Pass That Dutch.” The two started collaborating just as Meyers’ career was starting to catch fire. He started gaining attention in the late 1990s with clips like Kid Rock’s “Bawitaba” and Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up,” then rode that wave until the mid-aughts, when he was handling videos for the likes of Céline Dion and Janet Jackson. He then started focusing on commercials and directed the remake of The Hitcher, sporadically making music videos (often for his other most frequent partner, P!nk) before stopping altogether in 2012, CelebNMusic247.com reports.

Recently David Meyers spoke with TheVerge about how he and Missy Elliot got re-teamed up to make another amazing video for her new song “WTF.”
Meyers explains about the hype of Missy coming back after her 2015 halftime performance at the Super Bowl:
“A month later that I got a phone call with the track. We wanted to shoot in July, but the puppets were the first idea, and when we contacted the puppet maker he was like, “Oh yeah, it will be three months to make those.” We had to greenlight just the puppets without really knowing how or in which way the overall video was going to be. So we rushed to get those made, and while those were being made, we had a three-month creative journey of filling out the rest of the video, which is the longest I’ve ever had to think out a video. It was a very enjoyable and exciting process for me and Missy, because usually it’s so fast moving. This time we really got to do a lot of chatting and a lot of collaborating and a lot of careful planning and conversations…”
When asked about the concept of puppetry he says:
“The initial burst was the excitement for the puppets, then it kind of dawned on me and Missy, like, “Is that enough?” Obviously there’s a big dance appreciation for what Missy is as a brand, and the puppets will dance, but will they dance in an innovative way enough to capture what Missy means to the dance community? She’s been gone so long, so for her to re-emerge with just puppets and to not see Missy … There’s so much charisma associated with her and the way she frontlines a dance experience, it seemed like it wasn’t quite a Missy experience. We had been talking, and after the VMAs happened, we really went hard on it. I was like, “We have to do what we do.” Over a couple days I pitched her all the surreal things I could dream of, then we shot it two weeks later.”
