Midi Matilda Day Dreams:
Skyler Kilborn and Logan Grime make up indie electro-pop group,
Midi Matilda and their music skills are matched only by their directorial talents, which can be seen in their self-produced clip to the track
Day Dreams.
Shot over ten nights in San Francisco and Berkeley, California, the video was filmed in a studio and then that product was projected onto surfaces around the aforementioned cities. Kilborn and Grime then took 3,300 photos of the projections to make up each frame of the advanced stop-motion project.
The end result is an almost seizure-inducing clip, reminiscent of cartoons that are placed in real life settings. Think
Teeny Little Super Guy from Sesame Street or the Flight Of The Conchords video,
Carol Brown which was directed by the brilliant
Michel Gondry. It cleverly utilises the plethora of surfaces in the cities; from people, walls, lampposts and trees. The choreographed dance moves that Midi Matilda bust out only add to the fun.
