# Excessively Limbed Entertainers The 3rd Line Butterfly Video is Visually Captivating By Cody Turner | Published 2012-09-04 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3rd-line-butterfly References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2012/09/04/3rd-line-butterfly/) & [vimeo](https://vimeo.com/47665524) Check out this visually super-packed [music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more) for 3rd Line Butterfly entitled ‘Sexy.’ This video is a stunning mix of simplistic [minimal artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow), grey backgrounds and a whole bunch of awkward hands holding unrelated objects. I am a big fan of what 3rd Line Butterfly has done for this video. Their use of strange objects held in front of varying patterned backdrops and the use of mysterious hands and arms throughout is a perfect way to sell their already simplistic song. The video basically follows the four-member [asian band](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teriyaki-madness-whats-with-bob) as they play instruments with the help of extra limbs. Grey-painted hands also are seen holding up objects like a cactus covered in wax, a never-ending kleenex box and a naked barbie riding a dolphin through a sea of ballons. The video was directed by Dee Shin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Visually Captivating Music Videos:** Creating music videos that use simplistic minimal artworks and awkward limbs holding unrelated objects to visually captivate the viewer. - **Incorporating Extra Limbs Into Artistic Performances:** Integrating extra limbs into live music performances, dance routines, and other artistic performances to add a visually stunning element. - **Use of Mysterious Hands and Arms in Marketing:** Incorporating mysterious hands and arms holding unrelated objects into marketing campaigns to catch the viewer's attention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music:** Music artists using visually captivating music videos to promote their songs. - **Performing Arts:** Incorporating extra limbs into live performances to create a visually stunning performance for audiences. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using mysterious hands and arms holding unrelated objects in marketing campaigns to create a unique and eye-catching advertisement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Milestone-Honoring Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-music-video.md) - [Unconventional Vehicle Control Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-joy.md) - [Insect-Inspired Technical Baggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection.md) - [Layered Online Content Reports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-maximalism.md) - [Virtual Music Video Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangershow.md) - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Music AI-Generated Visual Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modem.md) - [Reflective Public Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing.md) - [Immersive Auto-Focused Artistic Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistic-experience.md)
