The Process: Salmer – Bob + Tina
Animated Music Video

the second “feature” animated music video.

again all starts with the song and the lyrics, paying attention to the theme, tempo and interesting audio moments.

###

lyrics:

Bob + Tina

Das Leben überdacht, es regnet nicht mehr rein
es ist wunderbar an deiner Seite zu sein
wie gut es ist, dass es dich gibt, hoffentlich bleibt es so für immer und ewig
Bob und Tina wussten Bescheid, everything‘s gonna be all right
Tonight…. Und die Sorgen sind verflogen — ungelogen

Alles nice spritzer weiß (Barcadi cola light)
Tina Turner singt Tonight –tonight tonight
Wir feiern jede Kleinigkeit – eine gute Zeit
Every little things gonna be alright

Bob Marley Sonnenschein – let it shine
Ich brauch nur Musik allein – allein allein
Für Stress bleibt keine Zeit – tut uns leid
Every little things gonna be alright

Bob und Tina, Grüner Veltliner, ich bin Burgenländer kein Wiener
mache Party, schlafe lange, manchmal ist mir angst und bange
doch die Musik sagt die für immer bleibt: – everythings gonna be all right tonight –
Und die Sorgen sind verflogen… ungelogen

Alles nice spritzer weiß (Barcadi cola light)
Tina Turner singt Tonight –tonight tonight
Wir feiern jede Kleinigkeit – ne gute Zeit – Hey
Every little things gonna be alright

Bob Marley Sonnenschein – let it shine
Ich brauch nur Musik allein – allein allein
Für Stress bleibt keine Zeit – tut uns- leid
Every little things gonna be alright

then comes the main guy/band itself.

the looks, the personality and the vibe.

SALMER

###

input from salmer: the life we live seems to be grey, forlorn, hopeless, boring and everything sucks. but if you think a little you will recognize that life isn’t that bad at all and music can help you through every bad situation. And you recognize that bob and tina were right when they said: “every little thing gonna be alright”.

###

bring it on!

###

based on everything, after another overconsumption of coffee in a short burst and after some brainstorming, the story/script is developed, paying attention to character’s motivation, 3-act structure etc.

before the music
girl sitting at home.
it’s raining. everything is grey.
she put’s on a vinyl (salmer).
music starts
we hear the intro.
the girl hears the intro like we hear the intro.
the vinyl player (a weird-looking modern Grammophon) starts jumping and the lights around it are flashing.
salmer jumps out (gets out) of the speaker.
he starts singing.
he is like an entertainer.
jumps on a stage that appears from nowhere.
it’s like a show.
it becomes all colourful.
we “travel” with him while he sings to the girl that everything is gonna be alright.
like a music video montage (something like little big does):
-(bottles are flying)
-(hands clapping)
-(flying over the city)
-(colours are changing)
-(tina with shining lights around)
-(bob in the sunshine and then on a mountain)
-(other lyrics related imagery)
in the end, we get back to the house.
he gets back into the speaker.
and now it’s all sunny and nice.

###

the story is approved

###

the production begins.
the gathering of assets: mainly photos.

###

the main inspiration is neon psychedelia.

###

the “house”.
the trees are generated. the house is found. the mood is created.

###

the main character first test walk cycle.

salmer himself

###

i love to add female hands and/or eyes in one way or another to all my projects, if it’s appropriate.
i guess that’s my “tarantino’s feet”.

###

all elements are compiled and put together.

###

###

in the end, everything is put together and rendered.
