BLUBLU "Muto"

 I’m fascinated by the filming techniques used for this video.  A strange, trippy concept, you have to keep an open mind as the funky music follows the evolving graphics. Alien cartoon creatures, form into objects and then structures and creatures once more. The people walk by, blurs of motion, unaware.

I don’t understand what’s happening- large hands reaching down to open up a giant crawling baby like a hot dog, pulling out a diamond that once again becomes a grown figure, giving his head to the large man who started it all and continues to evolve once more- head spinning, drifting until he’s peeling layers and layers back in the most bizarre fashion- like the FBI agents in Men and Black who end up being Aliens undercover. The baby crawls along the wall like a spider, making a nest, hatching eggs of falling heads- once more, turning into a skeleton and then the same figure again.

This act of layering and full circle animation is entirely bizarre but you can’t ignore the genius creativity. There’s monumental layering, a focus on creatures crawling, transforming constantly- you can’t peel your eyes away from the screen, in fear of missing some crucial step of this bizarre evolution.

I can’t help but think some incredibly talented person had all these visions on a crazy acid trip. I wish I could understand the process of filming more, because the techniques used as well as the additional notes of music, really united the piece. I can see how this would be inspiration for the flip book project!
