Love is like a twitter bird... but Social Media is more like an angry bird that quickly takes over your life. That's the premise in this fantastic animated video directed and animated by Triplets Of Belleville creator Sylvain Chomet.
Here's a smart way to humanize Stromae, an International star on the verge of breaking America thanks to his stunning man or mannequin video "Papaoutai." Filmed in one-take, on VHS no less, at a party where Stromae updates Hot Jazz with his band and we catch snippets of stories as people evade or make eye-contact with the camera. And, as with all things shot on VHS: It was clearly recorded over something else.
Meet the kid with a fake plastic dad in a Saccharine sweet town. Luckily, music and dance makes things come alive, even if for only a few minutes.
Check out this fantastic video for Belgian star Stromae — he plays the dad here — directed by Raf Reyntjens, who nails the a vibe that's just on the brighter side of Tim Burton.
