  • sus80 I have watched this a few times now and I find more storyline details each time. This is such a powerful video with many layers of emotion, and yet its message is stark and concise. Love it.

  • rrkeel That's just a great job, very well shot, the end was worth the wait. It's hard to change tone, you made it work. And I have honest to god worked with puppets before, I found them very difficult. They seldom hit their mark, won't listen to direction and shed.

Artist: Royksopp
Song: The Alcoholic
17 Jan 2011
985 2 20

Description:

This song inspired the story of a man who finds himself a puppet to alcoholism. Intended to have the look of a comedy and the feel of a tragedy - this video juxtaposes the two with a combination of puppetry and live action. Think "Avenue Q" meets "Requiem for A Dream" :)
