With the help of a friend who happened to have caught the original filming, they pieced together that the Rolling Stones had shot the video on Sweeney’s birthday, July 2, which helped them plan a seasonably appropriate shooting schedule. “We were able to use similar locations,” Sherbert added. “The original staircase is now surrounded by businesses, so we shot at the nearly identical staircase next door. The St. Marks Bar & Grill is gone, and, although there was another bar in the neighborhood with almost the exact same layout, International Bar was incredibly accommodating and encouraged us to shoot there, which just felt right for this. The apartment window with the guy daydreaming has changed, but a neighbor a few doors down let us use hers. It’s a DIY neighborhood production, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our friends and neighbors who came together and took time out of their day to help make it happen.” Check out behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot below.
