While some use people use Post-It notes to write messages or reminders, The Family Bones has taken up the sticky note into a new use. The band worked with Image Flux's animator Aaron Kaminar to direct a video that required long days and nights to complete. It took roughly 12-14 hours a day in a four month period to finish off the Post-It frenzy video. Although the video used animation and other visual techniques, the Post-It notes are real and were placed by hand. A green screen was used for the parts requiring live action, however, this dedicated group took the time to stick the notes one by one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Stop-motion Music Videos:** Creating music videos using stop-motion techniques offers a unique and visually captivating experience for viewers. - **Innovative Use of Post-it Notes:** Exploring creative ways to use Post-It notes opens up possibilities for unique artistic expressions. - **Collaboration Between Music and Animation:** The collaboration between musicians and animators presents an opportunity to create immersive multimedia experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Industry:** Incorporating innovative visual elements into music videos can help artists stand out in a competitive industry. - **Art and Design Industry:** Artists and designers can explore unconventional materials and techniques, such as Post-It notes, to create distinctive works. - **Animation Industry:** Collaborating with musicians to create animated music videos can bring fresh and exciting content to the animation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Sticky Note Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-sticky-notes.md) - [Sticky Notes Holder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-holder.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Digitized Sticky Note Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memojector.md) - [Digital Sticky Reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendlystack-reminder.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Hybrid Virtual Brainstorming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-app.md) - [Digital Sticky Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stickyflow.md) - [Sticky Note Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nemonic-gen-2.md)
