Pomplamoose is the happy-go-lucky music duo of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn who got YouTube famous with looped covers of "Single Ladies" and "My Favorite Things." Now, they’re making DIY projection-mapped music videos in what looks like their basement. With foam-block sets, a makeshift greenscreen, and a leaf blower as a wind machine, the San Francisco couple filmed the final cut of their latest, “Like a Million,” in one take.It’s far from flawless—we see Nataly’s hands switching sets and can tell that the surfaces aren’t smooth—but that’s part of the charm. We know what it looks like when a team has the support of industrial robots and highly-trained technologists (shout out to the ever-mind-blowing "Box" by Bot & Dolly), but Pomplamoose shows what’s possible with a projector and some creativity.See some behind-the-scenes footage of their DIY video below, and also check out their mashup of "Happy and Get Lucky" for a fun follow-up with a few Dali-esque scenes.h/t Laughing Squid
