Ami Saraiya & The Outcome 'We Are Fighting You Now' by Gretchen Hasse
Rob Ulitski - 26th May 2020
Ami Saraiya ponders the surreality of our current cultural climate in this animated video by Gretchen Hasse.
Through a mix of animation styles and live action, the visual follows the earnest themes of Saraiya's song We Are Fighting You Now. The sprawling narrative - punctuated by the threat of a faceless, insatiable beast who is always pursuing the characters - is a clever metaphor that one must keep loving and keep fighting to stand any chance of survival. Â
The animation switches between rudimentary line drawings and detailed characters and props. The use of live-action footage adds a layer of real-world iconography, helping to anchor the themes in reality and truth.Â
