Wild Beasts Video - By Nick Scott


I first came across this video when completing the Digital Motion brief last year. I love how it uses stop motion combined with an innovative use of photography. The jerky movements and bold primary colours reflect the rawness of the track.
It was created by local Leeds graphic deigner Nick Scott (he also designed all the artwork for the band The Cribs). Simple stop motion is used in parts, however Scott also took multiple shots of the band playing then used the actual photos to create a sequence giving the effect of moving film. It's not a complex, amazing feat design but it suits the track perfectly and grabs the viewers attention throughout. The music is based on rough basic elements, so too is the video.
