"A dream in a dream…" Another entrancing new music video to enjoy. This video is for the electronica track "RIP TXL" by DJ Piper - the title is a reference to the old Berlin airport called Tegel (the airport code was "TXL") that shut down in late 2020 after the brand new BER Brandenburg airport opened to replace it. This music video is made by a very talented animator from Hamburg named Raman Djafari - he also made the funky "Pamphlets" music video we featured a few years ago as well. The "RIP TXL" video short is about five friends growing up in Berlin Spandau who experience surrealism of adolescence with all its magic, emotion and adventure. This also showed at the 2023 Annecy Film Festival for Animation in the short competition section last month. This has a very distinct stop-motion style to it, though it's all 3D made in the computer.
Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this animated music video. Brief intro direct from Vimeo: "Five friends, growing up in Berlin Spandau, experience the surreality of adolesence, with all its magic, emotion and adventure." This vibrant 3D animated music video short film was created and directed by animation filmmaker / illustrator / teacher Raman Djafari based in Hamburg, Germany - you can view more of his work on his Vimeo page and on his Tumblr or follow him on IG @ramandjafari. "Through his work he tells both surreal and fragmented narratives that explore the human condition." The short is also produced by Raman Djafari. It recently played in competition at the 2023 Annecy Film Festival in France. For more info (though there's not much), visit Vimeo. To watch more shorts (or music videos), click here. Your thoughts?
