Inspired by [classical oil paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining), the style of which recalls the work of Edvard Munch, each scene is a masterpiece. Produced, directed and [animated by Montreal-based visual artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-visuals) Carine Khalife, the Young Galaxy 'Blown Minded' music video actually revolves around a series of paintings that has been photographed from above. Khalife writes, "I based the number of frames per second (sometimes 8 sometimes 12) on the rhythm of the music. Everything is based on the rhythm. It was important for me, especially for the abstract parts, that I was responding to the song conversationally; like a running dialogue." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 37% | 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) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Experimental Music Videos:** Opportunity for musicians to push boundaries and explore unconventional visual storytelling techniques through their music videos. - **Incorporating Fine Art:** Artists can draw inspiration from classical artworks and incorporate them into their music videos, creating visually stunning and unique experiences. - **Interactive Visuals:** The integration of visual art forms and technology opens up possibilities for interactive music videos that respond to the rhythm and engage the audience in new ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Industry:** Musicians can leverage innovative music video concepts to enhance their brand, connect with their audience, and stand out in a competitive industry. - **Visual Arts:** Visual artists can collaborate with musicians to create multimedia experiences that blend music and fine art, expanding their creative reach and audience. - **Digital Media:** The demand for visually captivating and engaging content opens up opportunities for digital media companies to specialize in producing innovative music videos. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Music AI-Generated Visual Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modem.md) - [Painting Display Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism.md) - [Movement-Evoking Audio Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favle22.md) - [Auditory Artwork Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece.md) - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Virtual Music Video Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangershow.md) - [Dynamic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-in-motion-exhibition.md) - [Music-Inspired Avatar Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-yourself-in-sound.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md)
