Spacious Thoughts.

Spacious Thoughts is a music video created by the animation company, Fluorescent Hill. The video follows around a small, onion like figure who floats and flies through a grungy, but colourful looking city. As he does this, he is also singing/rapping along to the song which the music video has been created for. The Creature itself is in full 3D effect, which is also the way in which it has been created, either in cinema 4D or a program like it. Whereas the city that it is flying around has also been made in 3D, but has been cast as an overlay layer, so that all of the pieces of the city are semi transparent and overlap each other well. The video then looks as though it has been edited in Flash, as the random display of colour splashes all over the city create a great effect as they follow the main character on his journey. There is also an element of pure 2D animation in this video as well, as 3D. The main character occasionally bursts into a puff of smoke, which seems to resemble pollution that spreads throughout the city, who sings the chorus of the song throughout the video. I feel as though this element makes the video seem a lot more dynamic and less serious at the same time, because of it being 3D and more cartoon like. I was drawn to this video because of the imagery and wide variety of colours, even though the majority of this video seems to be done digitally, the splatters of paint and lines look very rustic and hand drawn, which may even be the case here.
