Paul McCartney stepped into a time machine for his "Find My Way" remix video. The clip sees a digitally de-aged Macca dancing through the halls of a hotel while staff and guests look on, star-struck. The trippy visuals were directed by Andrew Donoho and co-produced with Hyperreal Digital, which specializes in creating hyper-realistic digital avatars.

“The technology to de-age talent and have them perform in creative environments like this is now fully-realized, even with one of the most recognized faces in the world,” Hyperreal’s CEO Remington Scott said of the technology used in the video.

The dance-focused video is fitting, considering Beck's inspiration when remixing the McCartney III Imagined track.

"I remember hanging out at a get together with Paul and his wife Nancy several years ago and Nancy mentioned that she wanted to go out dancing before calling it a night," Beck wrote on Instagram upon the song's initial release. "After a bit of an odyssey looking for a place, we finally found a bar in Hollywood with a DJ. I remember everybody feeling loose and in the moment—Paul and Nancy were tearing it up and completely enjoying themselves."

When McCartney asked the singer-songwriter to put his spin on the track last year, Beck "wanted to channel a bit of the feeling of [that night]."

"I was thinking of that image of Paul in his groove," he explained. "There was a falsetto vocal in his original track that made me want to lean further into something loose and funky – I took my Hofner and put down a few bass lines and it fell together from there. After I ’d [sic] turned in the remix, Paul called and mentioned he’d been dancing in his kitchen to the track all week, kind of full circle to that night."
