In an effort to combat the monotony of quarantine, one family took creativity to a whole new level by executing a flawless shot-for-shot remake of a Journey music video. The Taylor family, residing in Maple Valley, Washington, turned to the iconic 1983 track “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” for their project, which they dubbed the 2020 “Taylor Quarantine Edition.” With kids in tow, they produced a video that’s so convincing, it blurs the lines between the original and their rendition.
A Creative Solution to Quarantine Boredom
When boredom struck, it was Emily Taylor’s inspired idea to create a music video that would provide entertainment for the family. “We needed something to keep us engaged,” Emily remarked. With the kids on board, and dad Mark’s impressive video production skills at the ready, they dove into the challenge.
The family transformed their home into the backdrop for the shoot, with each member donning authentic ’80s attire. It took them the entirety of a Saturday to film, and the results were remarkable, with Mark embodying the spirit of lead singer Steve Perry, complete with dramatic facial expressions. Their children—Mia, 15, Ethan, 14, Chloe, 12, and Lily, 9—also participated enthusiastically. Mia handled much of the camera work, while Lily took on the role of the mysterious blonde clad in leather. “She practiced that fierce walk and look, she was born for this part,” Mark shared.
From Private Keepsake to Viral Sensation
Originally filmed in a setting reminiscent of New Orleans, the family made their home the star of the show. After editing, Mark shared the video on their Vimeo account, expecting it to be a private keepsake for family and friends. However, the “Taylor Quarantine Edition” went viral following a feature on a Seattle radio show, creating a memorable moment for the family during these unusual times.
“We wanted to look back in ten years and remember this wild time and how we made it fun,” Mark reflected on their creative endeavor. This experience may just be the first of many more musical projects for the Taylor family.
