A music video for Murmur by Raphaël Seas
This is something that’ll definitely find its place in the readers’ videos section; but beforehand, it totally deserves to be on the front page for a couple of days/weeks. It’s a video done for one of the songs off the 2001 internet album, known under the provisory name Murmur.
[flash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyFmD9QOYCo]The author, 19-year-old French filmmaker Raphaël Seas says:
I have made a clip of the song “Murmur” (an animated short movie) without any money, just with entertainment (a week of shooting which resulted in 1600 pictures). I tried to translate the offbeat and dark atmosphere of John’s firsts albums. This clip required a lot of work!
Given that we just discussed animation as an art; if you know how animating stills works and how many stills are needed for something like this, and how hard it is to use photographs instead of drawings…I know you’ll all appreciate this. Happy hump day!
