Music video《Shelter》
In the beginning, this MV is not too much to attract my attention, although the microblog saw message very early, but then my heart just to define it as a wind combined with electronic music department of Japanese animation as a product of neither fish nor fowl. Under the strong recommendation of the post bar and my friends in the group, I clicked on the video and repeated it for three times before I fell into a silent meditation.
I wanted to share this is a music video is a short animation artists of Porter Robinson and Madeon song “Shelter” MV. As a song, it is more like a novel, narrating many happy and sad mixed stories, expressing his beautiful fantasy of the different world. Madeon USES Launchpad to play music and likes to create a “cassette loop” effect. Quite coincidentally, Porter Robinson and Madeon’s major production styles at the beginning of their careers were Complextro (Porter Robinson was one of the main developers of this style). But PR’s Complextro is Wilder, while Madeon’s is fresher, sometimes glorious, and pays more attention to the complexity of sound and instrument stitching.
This MV tells the story of a future in the end of a great father to let her daughter to perpetuate the fairy tale life and created a shelter (shelter) story. This story is very rich sense of science and technology, the VR technology is blended in among them, with popular nowadays and short the contents of the great strengths of the A1, the overall production is quite good, even in the YOUTUBE is simplicity is a net friend evaluation as “the When a 6 min video is later better than the 90% of Fall 2016 anime season.”
Worth mentioning here are the details of the letter information is set in the Japanese automatically sent into the VR world seven years later, It can be seen that the father does not want RIN to indulge in the fantasy world, but let her grow up enough to bear the pain and face it bravely. At the end of the video, the star map on the monitor next to you redirects you to a planet. Shelter isn’t a Shelter for impenetrable shells, it’s a Shelter for the finest vessels that can turn into butterflies. The whole story is moving and not falling into the conventional. The harmony between 2D and 3D is amazing. The wonderful combination of European and American EDM and Japanese ACG also makes everyone’s eyes bright, and gives people hope at the end of MV. It is more appropriate to be healed than to be moved to tears.
Moreover this MV success is no accident, since the childhood love of Japan’s cultural Porter Robinson himself as A writer, A – 1 8 times visit during production Pictures to discuss question on setting and production, A1 also used in the production the kernel and production of new ideas. A1 also made great efforts in character and setting. Big to the doomsday environment background, small to the Japanese room layout. Even though less than 10 percent of these scenarios are presented to the audience, they still make them perfect. As can be seen from the interview video, both the composer and the animator are deeply in love with this work. So why this short 6 minutes can move countless net friends must be with the production staff into which the true feelings have a lot to do with it.
MV ontology, the whole story adopts the flashback, recently wrote tying at his father for the creation of shelter (shelter) free happy life. The first half of the flashback from time to time can reflect the girl’s missing for her father. In the second half, she recalls the time she spent with her father when she was young and the time her father sent her to the safety of space on the eve of doomsday. After reading her father’s letter, RIN wiped away her tears and chose to face up to it bravely. RIN’s father still went to a shrine with her to celebrate her birthday when the others were fleeing for safety. No matter what disputes and disturbances outside, he still concealed everything and constructed a utopian shelter for the heroine in the end of the world. Even at the last moment, the father couldn’t help but choose to create a fairy-tale VR world (Shelter) for RIN so that RIN could happily “live” beyond earth.
