In 2015, Mandi played an important role in the making of Pharrell Williams’ music video for the song “Happy”, and in one interview she spoke about her collaboration with the mentioned artist, adding that nowadays many talented directors see videos as an opportunity to explore their ideas, which they might not be able to put into a full-length film. Being recognized, the music video was rewarded with a Grammy award.

Singing Career

In addition to being a producer, Gosling is a talented singer, and her vocal abilities can be heard in several videos, possibly uploaded by her on YouTube.

Happy

Playing an important role for the video of “Happy”, speaking later about her experience with Pharrell Williams and his team, Mandi stated that it was “amazing”, adding that they are also down to earth and creative. Working on the video for “Happy”, Mandi had to book 360 stars and civilians, which made her project more complicated, but eventually her hard work paid off, and the song was one of the most popular that year and played an important role in Gosling’s rise to fame. She noticed that musicians and directors, even though in different branches of art, can create “something fresh and new”. The idea of Pharrell’s video was to make an interactive 24-hour video, and despite some worries that the team had and the fact that they didn’t have a traditional casting process, they eventually pulled it off. Ultimately, the video featured people of all ages from all around the world, who recorded themselves dancing. Eventually, Mandi had to go through over 5,000 videos in order to find the perfect cast for “Happy”, and she reportedly even convinced her mother to give it a try.

Quotes

#Quote
1[on producing the Grammy Award- winning "Happy"] I have been fascinated by just how music videos come together. Today there are so many really talented directors who use music videos as an opportunity to explore a creative idea that they might not be able to do in a full feature film, or in an advertising campaign. It was not a traditional casting process. Because we needed a lot of people in such a short period of time, we kind of blasted it out there. We had people record themselves, and we told them, "Do whatever you're going to do". In the end, we had a mixture of really talented dancers and total character types.
