Back in 2004 when Ratatat released their debut album, I thought it would be cool to direct a music video to 17 Years featuring synchronized swimmers. A co-worker at the time, Jessica Vacek mentioned I should check out some Esther Williams. So I ended up at a Hollywood Video and rented Million Dollar Mermaid on VHS. My plan was to pitch the band on the idea, by synching some footage up to their song. However, I had no idea how well it would actually synch. Enjoy.
