His latest work for Warm Myth’s track, 'Working,' uses [mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection), origami and paint to create a kaleidoscopic myriad of images. The video features the faces of the band members and a few amphibians that blend together in a creative and captivating way. Yules has done work similar to this before while working on an Of Montreal video for 'Spiteful Intervention.' Yules says that he would set up the [folded paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita) near a mirror or window to take advantage of the natural light, and that “after a while I started to think the [origami folds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-stool) could be used not just as transitions, but to animate paintings.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Kaleidoscopic Video Art:** Exploring the use of mirrors, origami, and paint to create stunning visual displays in music videos, film and advertising - **Folded Painting Animations:** Combining origami folds with animation techniques to create unique and captivating painted moving images - **Nature-inspired Animation:** Incorporating natural elements and lighting to breathe life into static images and create dynamic animation sequences ### Where This Applies - **Music and Entertainment:** Incorporating Kaleidoscopic and Folded Painting Animations in music videos and live shows to create visually stunning and captivating entertainment experiences - **Advertising and Marketing:** Integrating Nature-Inspired Animation and Kaleidoscopic Video Art into advertising campaigns and brand messaging to create captivating visual displays that engage and inspire audiences - **Film and Animation:** Experimenting with Folded Painting Animations and Nature-Inspired Animation techniques in film and animation to create immersive and visually stunning cinematic experiences ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Folded Paper Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clara-von-zweibergk.md) - [Origami-Inspired Steel Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflector-sculpture.md) - [Seasonal Interactive Fashion Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washi-paper.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md)
