Sam Smith - The Making Of 'I'm Not Here To Make Friends' | Vevo Footnotes

What's the sound of being on a date with a little lust in your heart and finding out the person sitting across from you is focusing on all things platonic? The second video from Sam Smith's 'Gloria' album fills us in, including how the costumes are essential to the narrative, and how swinging from a chandelier isn't the easiest job in the world. Director Tanu Muino looked around the world for a setting that would visually declare extravagance. He found one, a little place once run by Henry VIII. It nicely paralleled the singer's request that the video conjure the glitz of 1980s Vegas/Liberace glam. Jump in and learn about the L hand gesture and RuPaul quote that opens all the action.
