After seeing Sophia’s wonderful choice for Project Brief 2 of SIAMÉS – The Wolf, I was contemplating on which music videos I found were the most engaging that used the medium of animation for expression. After short deliberation I remembered one of my favourite music videos being that of Flying Lotus – Putty Boy Strut. Dir by Cyriak. There’s something about this video that is completely captivating, its a pure amalgamation of audio and visual. Rhymically and sonically the music fits perfectly with the movement and feeling of the world. Extremely surrealist in nature but close to everything we know is happening within modern society in terms of consumption, nature and technology. Cyriak is a prominent animator who is based out of the United Kingdom, many people know him from the viral video ‘cows & cows & cows’. In which the cows shapes are manipulated rhymically to form strange adaptations of themselves or other ‘cow-like-beings’ all together.
