This creative stop-motion music video by Katarzyna Kijek and Przemysław Adamski is extremely well done. This animation duo's projects never cease to disappoint. This particular music video is for Shugo Tokumaru’s song 'Katachi.'
Stop motion is a widely used form of animation done in various ways. Here, the animators have cut each frame out of foam core and photographed them. This extremely time consuming and intricate form of art is stunningly admirable.
The artists have created a tunnel feel with the constantly changing emerging shapes. The music video reminds the viewer of a journey that is taken. The human subject metamorphoses into different forms and colors. The music video is nothing less than a visual feast. It is elaborate, well thought-out and extremely effectively executed.
