Blend Films: “Wintersleep: Fog”
If the Zoloft dot was a music video, it would be Wintersleep’s “Fog”. It is beautifully animated, well told, and you’re really rooting for the little guy to find some sunshine.
Says Mirco Chen “The Fog video came originally from Jud Haynes of Wintersleep. The band had designed a small storybook that went with there CD’s featuring the main character of the video. It had a great old fashioned children’s book illustration style to it and Jud brought it to us to animate the video. With the help of some great designs and backgrounds from Scott Macdonald we decided to try a rough pencil crayon kind of look. We tried to keep it in a children’s book type of style, hoping it would look more like illustration come to life. I love the old NFB films that used techniques like paint on glass and sand to animate with, they always had such a great sense of texture and life and we tried to capture some of that in this video.”
A job well done! Thanks everyone!
