Synopsis
Tom Kingsley’s video for Darwin Deez’s single Up in the Clouds is a sweet and innovative use of colour key and animation that sees the singer check into a hotel in the sky and become trapped on a disintegrating cloud during a thunderstorm.
By having the video’s characters interact with on-screen typography (that is as much for their benefit as it is for ours), Kingsley communicates their feelings towards one another without having to fall back on music video clichés like flashback montages or long, romantic stares, and is able to keep the video fresh, funny and exciting.
Up In The Clouds is a Portable Film Festival Official Selection in 2010.
