About Abby and Rafael: www.myspace.com/abrafever

Just to set the story straight: the facepainted kids in the video are a boy and girl from Los Angeles, two friends of mine, names Raf and Abby. MGMT was not involved in the making of this video, however, they became involved down the line.
The story goes like this:
December 2007: Rushing to make a due date for a USC Music Video class, I ask my friends Raf and Abby to appear in my video. I like the way they bounce off of each other despite completely different personality types, and think they both have interesting faces. Raf didn't want to shave so I didn't push him. We shot in one night, I cut overnight, turn it in and call it the worst thing I've done so far.
January 2008: On a whim one night while visiting home in Austin, Texas, I throw the video on Youtube just for kicks.
April 2008: Ray Tintori, who has directed 3 official videos for MGMT, finds my fan video online and invites myself and my two actors to come to New York to appear in MGMTs next official video for Electric Feel.
May 2008: We go to New York and have a great time on the set with the band and all their friends.

Message from Abby, the facepaint girl in the video:

We are celebrating over a year since Jon posted this video!
We never would have thought this would get over 8 million hits, I never even thought it would make it on the internet.
I've put together some commemorative T-shirts for anyone who had enjoyed the video and wants to support. http://www.cafepress.com/Facep aintTshirt
Thanks so much!
