The director labels this video as a “stream of consciousness” created in 20 days, and well, it’s an achievement, but I think the most high accomplishment is that the video let me listen through the whole time a song that I would never ever finished otherwise: it’s not my sound but the animation is good enough to keep me sit in front of my screen.
As David Wilson (a very young fellow who seems a little frightened child in front of the camera) says in the making of, the illustrator Keaton Henson worked on Wilson drawings, creating a illustrated roller coaster of characters, like a animated morphing that looks very fluid. Also Malcolm Draper, the animator of Yellow Submarine and The Wall, worked on the animation.

I don’t know if I have a twisted mind or I’ve simply caught the director’s allusions, but the mitosis, the throw up heads, the vaginal-like shapes and here and there the dripping fluids makes me think that something truly sexual is going on. Am I wrong?
