This short music promo for Canadian artist Omar Linx by Peter Huang, explores ideas about violence in nature, the cosmos and sex. Magically rendered by the flexible medium of rotoscoping, it is thought provoking, entertaining and in it’s own simple way, challenging in it’s approach to our notions about nature & humanity. The simplification of the rotoscoping technique brings a stark look focusing on detail without backgrounds, adding to the power of the visual descriptions; from foetal growth, hunters and their prey to a bit of cosmic violent planet smashing. The piece has a cyclical nature which wraps up the concept in a tight fashion ending back at the beginning. Reminiscent of some of the ideas in the work of London based Directors and animation maestros’ Shynola’s, Queen of the Stone Age promo; Go with the Flow.
