Night Terror – Music Video


Is it fear?

We gather experiences which let us doubt the rhythm and unnatural order of things. 
Should we submit or follow our inner rebellion? 
Do you want to be part of the system?

There are masters and slaves, hunters and hunted, adherents and individualists. 
It is a cruel world full of conflicts and contradictions. 

This music video was created analogically – frame by frame, with minimal digital color retouch. 
It is a homage to traditional, old animation technique. The result is an unique, handmade look.
There are seven 
chapters.

Birth
Growth
Deja vu
Realization
Decision
Rebellion
Renaissance
Storyline

The video tells the story of a creature, born and raised by odd, human-like beings.
Like a newborn, it is not aware of its surroundings. Its creators, however, do everything to keep it that way. 

In the second chapter, the character realizes in what place it had been spending its whole life. 
Due to its experiences and growing knowledge about its existence, it comes to the decision 
that it can no longer be a part of the world it was born into. 

The protagonist heroically takes up the fight against the inscrutable system.
Knowing that resistance is futile, but following its convictions.
Production

 Two months of painting, frame by frame with acrylic paint 
and the animation software Dragonframe.
Composing and final touch in After Effects.
Remix by: 
Echoes of Felidae

Original song by:
Hildegard von Binge Drinking
