Inspiration / / Visuals & Sound

I was aware of the concept of this video before we were shown it in our seminar, and had thought about how important it is for visuals to relate to the sound.  More specifically, if there is a beat, the visuals should either work with that beat or obviously work against it.



"The music video, directed by Michel Gondry, features a continuous shot filmed from the window of a speeding train passing through towns and countryside; however, the buildings and objects passing by appear exactly in time with the various beats and musical elements of the track. The video is based on DV footage Gondry shot while on vacation in France; the train ride between Nîmes and Valence was shot ten different times during the day to get different light gradients."


The visualisation of sound is a concept many designers / / artists have attempted to produce.  This is a very successfully executed concept, and an interesting form of infographics.  I think it's such an interesting way to depict sound.  A brilliant track with visuals to match.
