# Eerie Humanoid Stop-Motion Videos Patador Prod’s Latest Creation Brings Surrealism to Plasti By | Published 2013-06-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/professor-kliq References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/patator-prod-professor-kliq-plastic-and-flashing-lights) The latest video by French studio Patador Prod for electronic musician Professor Kliq is impossible to stop watching. Titled ‘Plastic and Flashing Lights,’ the video shows a man made of wire and plastic as he is stretched, squeezed and otherwise transfigured through [stop-motion animation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-chef-x-ikea). The resulting video is absolutely hypnotic. The [geometric images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) paired with [abstract movements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer) make for an aesthetically astounding creation. ‘Plastic and Flashing Lights’ is set to electronic music by Professor Kliq himself, which increases the epic quality of the short film while giving a strong beat to which all the figure’s movements are coordinated. Every time a strong drumbeat occurs, the figure’s head expands and with every eighth-note the figure takes a strained step. This makes for a fluid video while maintaining its intensity through the figure’s movement, the background music and the use of stop-motion techniques. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stop-motion Animations:** There is an opportunity for companies to use the visually captivating technique of stop-motion animations in advertisements or social media campaigns. - **Abstract Visuals in Music Video Production:** Music video production companies can explore the use of abstract visuals accompanied by electronic music to create unique and memorable videos for artists. - **Surrealism in Advertising:** Advertising firms can incorporate surrealism in their campaigns to create memorable and thought-provoking content that captures the attention of viewers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Animation:** The film and animation industry can utilize stop-motion animations to create visually compelling content in movies, TV shows, or even video games. - **Music and Entertainment:** The music and entertainment industry can explore the use of abstract visuals and surrealism to enhance the experience of music videos and live concerts. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Advertising and marketing firms can implement new and creative ways of engaging audiences through the use of visually captivating content like stop-motion animations and surrealism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Disco Light-Replicating Illuminaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher.md) - [Kinetic Art Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-machine.md) - [3D-Printed Flip Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stl-sculptures.md) - [Digital Audio-Visual Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiovisual-exhibition.md) - [Human-Made Lamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-am-not-a-robot-lamp-collection.md) - [Upcycled Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic.md) - [Movement-Evoking Audio Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favle22.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md)
