“Kaiserwetter” by Benjamin Leng
July 9, 2008 12:25 am
“Kaiserwetter” is a distinctive looking video for German musician Olli Schulz directed by Benjamin Leng of HickPix. Leng tells us, “I made the video together with illustrator Niklas Hughes in a six-week period, combining hand drawn backgrounds with computer animation in After Effects.” |
The things I liked the most:
*The design and textures of the drawings.
*The darkness of the story
The things I liked the least:
*The flatness of the sky, it worked against the drawings of the buildings, making them look more “cut out”.
*The limitations of the animation, although I appreciate it was just about enough to tell the story.
It was a nice song too :-)
Ach du Leiber! Almost makes me nostalgic for Raw magazine….
