# Wax Visages This Emotions Leak Video Leaves Viewers With Visceral Reactions By Jason Soy | Published 2011-05-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotions-leak References: [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/23719159) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/23719159) There are moments in life when emotions seem to just "pour out of you" and this Emotions Leak video aims to convey that in a more literal and visual way. Specifically, the video features a man painted entirely in white paint who gradually gets [wax poured over his head](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wax-chocolate-bars) and face. The wax slowly solidifies as the music swells and the somber look on the man's face is eventually eclipsed by a wax cage that envelopes his entire head. Though the final image of the man in the Emotions Leak video seems disturbing to some, the [melancholy music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-songs-mental-unimed) along with the man's original expression makes me empathize with the character featured. The Emotions Leak video was produced by Joao Unzer of Hamburg, Germany. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Emotional Visualizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new technologies or platforms that allow individuals to visually represent their emotions in creative and expressive ways. - **Interactive Art Installations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create immersive experiences that engage the audience through the use of unconventional materials and interactive elements. - **Experimental Filmmaking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore novel techniques and visual storytelling approaches that challenge traditional narratives and provoke emotional responses. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge virtual and physical realms to create unique and compelling experiences for audiences. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced imaging and visual effects technologies to enhance the emotional impact of artistic creations. - **Creative Arts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Push the boundaries of traditional art forms by incorporating unconventional materials and techniques to elicit emotional reactions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Emotive Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w3e-mask-expressive-emotion.md) - [Emotion-Driven AI Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memoreel.md) - [Emotive AI Actors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatorkit.md) - [Expressive Lip-Syncing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emo-robot-1.md) - [Emotive Cinematic Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movies-of-mood.md) - [Human Candle Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-candles.md) - [Emotional LED Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qudi-mask.md) - [AI Emotional Actors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotive-ai-actors.md) - [Emotional Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnson-johnson.md)
