Creativity Still Lives

Hey Everyone,

Lets just say I was in shock watching this. It amazed me and made me do something I have not done in a very long time. I watched a music video.



Wow. That was the word I kept thinking while watching this. Well, that and what the heck is going on? I'm not sure where to start. It is so beautiful yet extremely weird. I love how as the camera rotates, the room is set as a colour wheel. I've never seen something like this. Why did they choose to do that? Do the colours stand for something? I'm not really sure but it keeps me interested. Another weird thing is that only one whole person is in the entire of the video. What I mean by that is that they only show parts of people. Their heads, their torsos. their hands but never the whole body. I think that it shows how music is made up of many parts. The video shows it because if you hear a drum there is a part of a person playing the drum. It is simplistic yet so complicated. I also love how the video brings a sort of old world charm. It doesn't quite feel old but it is not quite modern. Some aspects of historical home decor are present. The details on the fire place are very ornate and organic yet the colours some how speak 2010 to me.

I hope you enjoyed this video from an artistic perspective if not a musical one. The next time I make a video I hope I can make people think and wonder as this video made me. The artistic detail is truly amazing and was nominated for a Juno award.
