Music commissioning service Radar Music Videos have been catering for artists looking for lyric videos for a while now, and this is one of the latest from that stable. Deviating from the bold text and primary colours favoured by many lyric videos, director Pedro Chaves has incorporated live action drawing with some short stop-motion sequences and backdropped the whole thing with an impressive and delightful collection of vintage paperbacks!

Deviating from the bold text and primary colours favoured by many lyric videos, director Pedro Chaves has incorporated live action drawing with some short stop-motion sequences and backdropped the whole thing with an impressive and delightful collection of vintage paperbacks! Pedro says: “My first idea was to make a full stop motion animation with the letters appearing in a book. But I wanted a little more than just “stop motion”. So then came the idea of shooting “live”. I could then visualize what I wanted: a book were the lyrics would be written and where there would be animations in the book. Thus a mix between live action and animation. “My partner Turid Hoekstra then created the background from old books – some are actually over 100 years old – found the props and wrote in the book.”
