The music video was created by Cyriak Harris, a very clever British animator. Cyriak often makes very surreal, sometimes disturbing web animations! Check out his YouTube channel to see more of his work: http://www.youtube.com/user/cyriak
Cyriak used interesting editing to get the disorderly sense in 'Cirrus' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF34N4gJAKE. The music video starts with normal, old fashioned shots and then gets gradually more and more crazy and edited as it continues. It shows clips of shot, in reverse, replayed and merged together. Looking at the comments on the video, many fans suggested it appeared you where on drugs and your brain got more dysfunctional as the music went on. I really loved the video and would love to incorporate his techniques in mine, however, I would like to have my video the opposite way around (starting very dysfunctional then becoming more in-depth) to depict the metamorphosis of a person.
I looked at lots of Cyriak's work, another music video that stood out to me was Eskimo- 'We Got More'. This also has a very psychedelic feel to it. It combines editing and animation to create the overall piece. I especially like the way in which the music fits with the imagery so well. For example at 0.47 the movement of the road when their is a change in movement. I want shots and editing of my video to fit with the music (like in this video).
