Stephen Mallinder: Hush

“This is us but far away – Electrifies – Alpha waves…”
The animated music video for Hush embraces the contrasts of the song’s lyrical and aural aesthetics – combining simulations of tactile presentation with all the inherent digital contradictions. Lively hand-drawn splashes of acid hues highlight an eclectic array of stop-motion animated elements – salvaged vintage objects, toys and musical instruments – intercut with animated lip synch. The animation’s multiple processes involved thousands of hand-crafted collages on individual sheets of black paper.
