DNA’s Director X Tells the Truth about Smoking and Left Swipes for Legacy

DNA’s Director X lenses the latest music video-style spot for Legacy’s famous “Truth” campaign, making its broadcast premiere during the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.

The tongue-in-cheek video, titled “Left Swipe Dat,” calls attention toward the negative impact smoking photos can have in social media, including more online dating rejections. The campaign features Becky G and Fifth Harmony, King Bach, Grace Helbig, Harley Morenstein, AlphaCat, and other Internet Icons.

This is not Director X’s first rodeo in this genre, as he recently shot DirecTV’s similarly-styled “Fantasy Football Fantasy” featuring the Manning brothers. Additional recent DNA projects include music videos for Iggy Azalea’s MTV VMA-nominated “Fancy” and “Black Widow,” a surreal video for Pharrell’s recent hit featuring Daft Punk, “Gust of Wind,” and an energetic campaign for the Samsung Galaxy 11.
