Hamster Squaredance
Animation (Experimental), Music (Music Videos)
[ 4:27 - from Vimeo ]
This is a funky music video for Mr. Hayday that features Helmut the Hamster being chased by various protagonists. According to the Vimeo description, "The framework of "Hamster Squaredance" explores an aesthetic and conceptual relationship of rhythm and narrative by developing a new visual approach for displaying on small screens, mainly iPhone." The video features quick response bar codes embedded into the animation, which create an interactive experience for people with mobile phones that are equipped for mobile tagging. It's a great example of where technology is headed, and a good reminder of how far behind Americans are as far as technology is concerned. Did I mention that it's a fun animation?!?
