Music video
The music video was directed by Mike Venezia[3] who also helmed the band's previous hit video for "1,2,3,4". Premiering August 14, 2010 on VH1,[4] it was subsequently voted to the VH1 Top 20 Countdown fourteen weeks in a row, peaking at #6.[5] The music video was also ranked one of the top seven clips of the year by tween magazine J-14,[6] and accrued over 8 million hits on YouTube.[7]
Filmed at Point Mugu, California,[8] the video follows singer Tim Lopez as he walks and sings his way through a beach party along the edge of the shore. Band performance also occurs in front of a circus themed red and white striped wall, surrounded by dancers. The wall was later recreated as an illustration for the album cover of Wonders of the Younger,[9] and physically re-constructed as a backdrop for official live tour performances.[10]
On January 22, 2011, the "Rhythm of Love" music video was re-released in 3D by PassmoreLab and added to the official Mitsubishi 3D reel in over 11,000 retail locations, and made available for distribution worldwide.[11]
