There is so much weirdness that feels so right with this video. weakling brings together video game-esque music and tech house to make a 128 BPM tune that’s perfect for work outs, high focus work sessions – pretty much a nicely stimulating song if you need to be stimulated.
It was the pairing of visuals with “elephant” that really pulled me in and made this experience stand out. The cell animation and bright colors were not only a good fit for the weird, monotone music. The characters and story get down right trippy, as if the Rat Finch character/world and electronic music had a baby.
“The idea of using samples of Elephants came to me after visiting Beijing Zoo on holiday. There was a small enclosure for a single Elephant and he was screaming in distress – his screams were pretty horrific actually. I wanted to sample these sounds because they were more aggressive than any Elephant sound I’d ever heard, and while this has come from something so cruel, I’m able to tell the world of this small Elephant’s turmoil at the hands of man.” – weakling
