Yacht — L.A. Plays Itself (Music Video 2015)

Not at all in or associated with Wilmington in the slightest, but I wanted to have some fun finding all the locations in the music video.

After the opening drone shot on Santa Monica Blvd, the video travels around L.A. and the surrounding areas, starting with Ventura Blvd. heading eastbound, then westbound.

The following night shots for the chorus are in Koreatown, all along W 6th St.

The next chunk is along Hollywood Blvd., heading west and then east.

For next chorus, it's up to the hills and the scenic overlooks along Mulholland Dr. followed by a stop at the Top of Topanga Overlook, then a ride down and up and down N. Topanga Blvd. and S. Topanga Blvd.

Picking up at where Topanga Canyon Blvd. ends, the shots follow from Malibu to Santa Monica along the Pacific Coast Hwy. Some of the locations have been destroyed by the 2025 Palisades Fire.

Next, Beverly Blvd. for another chorus and then a tour around the Arts District on the edge of Downtown L.A. before the video ends in a section of the famous L.A. concrete river channel under CA-110 and Riverside Dr.

This is 99% complete, only one location is unknown at this time, a close up on some bamboo for shot 87 possibly around Topanga or along the Pacific Coastal Hwy.
