I went behind-the-scenes courtesy of Randy Nakajima to join him and the rest of the DOPE team as they prepped for Doja Cat and Left Brain's music video for their collaborative track "Wave" with Go Dreamer. The setting: Downtown Los Angeles (the building I live in, ironically). The scene: rooftop pool and interior takes inside one of the lofts on the first floor. Directed by Phil Stockbridge and Grant Duncan, the video reflects the song's laid-back end-of-summer vibe poolside.
