Ladyhawke - My Delirium



This is one of my favourite ever music videos, and has had a big
impact on the direction my illustration has taken and my interest
in animation in the first place. Sarah Larnach's original artwork for
Ladyhawke's album is so well animated and filmic in this video, it
works wonderfully with the contrast of stop motion footage.

One detail that stands out for me is the continued paper texture
that the music video uses, which amplifies the freshly painted and
patches of watercolour splashed across many of the short's scenes.

I' am always mythed by how Larnach's 2d paintings were animated
by the production team, so it's important that I try my best to get
to the bottom of this curiosity in order to potentially use
watercolour in my own animations.

Vibrancy and fluidity is key in the cinematic scenes in this shot, as
any deep meaning takes a back seat, after all, this is a music video
and it's only true purpose is to visualize the song.
