"FNF" Video

... I just realized that they made this video in Melbourne.

The song itself is inspired by how much & miss Australia.

I just did a double-take when I got to the scene where is sitting at a picnic table next to the water, because it looks so much like a place I've been hundreds of times.

Then rewound a bit and realised that is skateboarding with the MCG light towers in the background.

Now I need to rewatch & list all the Melbournecore things.

- sitting on steps behind Fed Square (?), with the Herald-Sun building behind him

- metro trains running along the elevated tracks beside the Yarra River

- trams along Flinders St

- Trying to figure out what bridge is skateboarding across. Not sure but MCG is visible from it

- cycling along the bike/pedestrian path in Altona where I used to take my dogs several times a week, what the fuck

(Of course they took there because it's an off-leash area for dogs, & I think it's also the same area where they filmed fellow dog-lover painting.)

- with paste-ups in the CBD, walking along laneways near Parliament station & sitting in a cafe

- aha is on the Batman Avenue bridge that crosses the Flinders St railyards

- I think is in Yarra Park, in the area between the MCG & Wellington Parade

- trying to figure out exactly where & are. I'm sure it's in the western suburbs, probably Doug Grant reserve, but I don't remember that little jetty heading out towards the spit. And there aren't many other areas that have the nice landscaping with the spit like that. Could be a new jetty?? Hmm

I'm certain @eyebrowofdoom will know exactly where it is. I'll have to show her.

- is running along one of the footbridges in Birrarung Marr. I think it's the one near the Federation Bells.

- they're all in St Kilda near Luna Park at one point

- which makes me question my certainty that the earlier beach & bike scenes are in the western suburbs

- could be St Kilda or Brighton instead?

Okay I'm gonna make myself a project to visit a bunch of these locations & recreate key shots 😁

Ahaha @mary actually knows how to search for things on the internet and found this:

Also @eyebrowofdoom said that the beachside locations looked like Werribee, and I scoffed, because Werribee is shit, but apparently I was WRONG and it was actually Werribee, what the fuck, who decides that Werribee is the place to take skz to show them the charms of Melbourne, I am confused

@mary @eyebrowofdoom also also: the place we had brunch yesterday, & the place they were playing last week where I exchanged silliness with a fellow stay, is right next to the jungle juice bar that the tiktoker went to at the end of the video.

Where they took a photo of 's signature, because he had visited there on a trip to Melbourne.

The place is directly to my right in the selfie I took in this post.

also also also: I don't know why that tiktoker didn't include 's location in their tour, maybe they didn't realize how close it was to the others??

Also also also also: I don't have a car & don't have an easy way to get out to werribee to track down those exact locations, so I might end up renting a car for half a day, or try to recruit a car-having friend into going on this ridiculous excursion with me.

@mary no I've been feeling a bit crap the last couple of days & have been at home. I may go if I'm feeling better tomorrow 🤞
