NW Shot Idea - Stop Motion Animation 4

Above is a link to a music video in which the band We Have Band use stop motion animation with make up to create a truly surreal as well as slightly scary effect, the people involved given ‘artificial’ life through paint representing their facial features in the video for ‘You Came Out’.

The video is extremely clever as it is obviously lo-fi, with the shots being very jerky from one to the next, giving it as rugged and supposedly ‘rebellious’ appearance, but on the other hand, the video pushes boundaries and thus is postmodern and artistic.

As the video is very bland, using simple make up against a black and white background, colour is subtly applied to great effect, bringing out a vibrant and exciting flare in, on what would appear to be on first looks, a relatively simple and bland video. We will look at this video again and perhaps take influence from its style when producing our video.
