The Chemical Brothers - The Darkness That You Fear
This week’s cutie is special, Yes, because of The Chemical Brothers, great song obviously. But the video was made by one of my fave visual artists RUFFMERCY (Russ Murphy), and that’s a major plus. Here is what Russ had to say about the process: - “When I first heard the song I immediately connected with the theme and the overall positive vibe. New government rules for relaxing lockdown had been announced and combined with the sun shining, it left me feeling positive about the forthcoming summer. It also triggered a strong sense of nostalgia that led to me going back to look for visual inspiration from the period in time when I first discovered The Chemical Brothers in the mid ’90’s. The video combines archive rave footage from the mid to late 90’s with hand painted Super 8 film textures and hand drawn animation. I love using colour to create chaos and evoke emotions and this was the perfect project to do that.” -
