who is the girl in somebody i used to know
Somebody That I Used to Know The music video for "Somebody That I Used to Know" was produced, directed and edited by Australian artist Natasha Pincus and filmed by Australian cinematographer Warwick Field. It shows Gotye and Kimbra naked throughout the clip, and as they sing, his skin is gradually painted into the backdrop via stop motion animation. In the director's cut, it features concealed nudity.[citation needed] The director's cut was never posted.[58][59] The painting used in the video's background, painted by Howard Clark, is based on a 1980s artwork created by Gotye's father, Frank de Backer, who also designed the cover art for the related album, Making Mirrors.[59][60] Emma Hack, an Australian artist and skin illustrator based in Adelaide, was hired by Pincus to work on the body paintings for Gotye and Kimbra. Melbourne Scenic Artist Howard Clark painted the backdrop.[60] According to Hack, it took more than 23 hours to paint both Gotye and Kimbra to fit with Howard's background.[60] Their painting symbolises their combined relationship.[60]
