Leftfield & Sleaford Mods 'Head And Shoulders' by Casey & Ewan
Cat Velez - 11th Aug 2015
Directing duo Ewan Jones Morris and Casey Raymond have crafted this eye-popping - and bone-crunching - multimedia animated video for Head and Shoulders, the acerbic new single from Leftfield, featuring Jason from Sleaford Mods.
Ewan & Casey go as over-the-top as possible, with a video that follows an unsightly and particularly gluttonous Pacman-like creature on a consumerist rampage, reaching new outrageous extremes with each new animation style.
Having said that, the stop-frame monster, with those horribly real-looking human teeth, is probably the best...
EWAN + CASEY:
"It was exciting to hear some new music from Leftfield, especially as it was so out-there, a driving throb of bleeps and noises, accompanied by Jason from Sleaford Mods ranting about the detritus of modernity. It was pretty clear from the start a degree of subtlety wasn’t what was called for.
"It was pretty clear from the start a degree of subtlety wasn’t what was called for."
"And so was born the story of a little monster who gorges himself on bin bags, cigarettes, chocolate bars, pigeons etc… growing bigger and bigger with overconsumption until he is able to swallow sky scrapers and entire planets.
Â
"And as the monster evolves so does the style of animation, beginning with 80s children’s TV style paper/cell animation, switching to stop motion models (all in camera, no compositing apart from rig removal). and ending in a cosmic digital world."
