GEORGE MiCHAEL: Freeek!
Video costs: 1 million pounds

The Freeek! video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who is also responsible for U2's Elevation and Hero of Enrigue Inglesias, also Elton John, Moby, Aerosmith etc.
The video was filmed at Universal Backlot Studios in LA during only three days but the post productions took several long weeks of a hard work.
Eric Durst, the post production supervisor, has 22 years experience in film effects. He was also the post supervisor on Batman movies. The cityscape matte paintings were designed by Deak Ferrand, who did a lot of the work in What Dreams May Come. Various artists (a team up to 15 people) worked on the 3D effects under the supervision of Jonathan Stone at The Syndicate (previously Computer Cafe). Most of the rest of the crew are all Joseph staples including the production designer Stephen Platt for the incredible costume design.
The costumes were especially made for George and the dancers. It took an hour to get George into the red suit. The suit had various pieces which were put on seperately and then screwed together.
The girl in the red suit that George meets up with towards the end of the video was also in the Outside video. She was one of the girls dancing beside him in a police uniform.

  • Here is a one way to see the FREEEK video
  • Hello there!
    I was watching the video yesterday and I thought about the noice what France made... Are people still thinking that George is looking like a demon or satan himself???
    I am a child of an artist with puppets and theater and all I can see is that the figure (George in a costume) is Astacus fluviatilis, means Cancer. This could be a sign from horoscopes... as the girl Cancer and the girls in bed could be Gemini.
    Cowboy and the blond girld could be George and Geri. But the business man is just pure George who is happy that there is bitch and a mouse in the house and daddy has his plastics. Money is the BIG JEAH.
    But the little sound in the back when in the video the fat guy is shaving sounds in to my ear Hirveä which means Horrible.
    Two dogs and two Cancers... having sex in public. Hmmm... from the back... I would like it...
    But when the girl takes the garbage out from the street... Cleaning my life so you can fit in. But the people are flying... away... you can see three people flying away... maybe she doesn't like them... maybe.
    The city with the great Linkin Park styled building with big woman statues in four (maybe west-east-north-south style) ways...
    You can also see a bit of a touch of a Lord of the Rings... in the city... like evil used to have in the movie.
    George in the shell as a sensitive Cancer, just comes out to the street only to have sex with other Cancer.
    Lovely and strong.
    With my thoughts and LOVE
