Behind the Scenes: Tyga’s ‘Wait for a Minute’ Ft. Justin Bieber

Director Krista Liney gives notes to Tyga and his leading lady. "Visually I wanted to explore both abstract and literal translations of fame," says Liney. The crew "employed some Matrix-inspired 'frozen moment' visual effects to literally stop time, and the rushing in of a paparazzi-filled crowd. Abstract, textural images such as funhouse mirrors and a maze (representing skewed reality and feeling trapped, respectively) are sprinkled throughout."
