Filmmaker: Marc Abrahams
This video was shot in just one weekend (yes, all that animation) back in 2001, but has only just been digitally remastered and re-edited by me (colour correction to follow soon), as at the time it was shot and edited on borrowed gear!
The idea behind it was to take domestic objects and bring them to life by ‘choreographing’ them to one of my own tunes (called Brain Bug, after a random newspaper headline I saw at the time of writing it)!
Yes, I really did burn a hole in my kitchen floor during the making of this video, but no I didn’t care, because I moved out a couple of weeks after making this, and all that Lino got ripped up by builders anyway!
I tell you, I’m perfectly stone cold sober, honest…
