Photoshop Handsome – the new video

Wired had the exclusive on the brand new Photoshop Handsome video today, along with a making-of including interviews with producer Phil Tidy and Jonathan. Cast your eyes over this rampant collision of animators’ brains. I think it gets better with every watch.

Everything Everything – Photoshop Handsome (Making Of The Video) on MUZU.

Here’s what Jonathan had to say about the video, yanked from the latest newsletter:

“Our new single Photoshop Handsome looks at the world of digital image manipulation and computer game re-incarnation. What would it feel like to come back to life as one of the ‘perfected’, false, immortal beings that adorn magazine covers, adverts and games?

“We took the idea of photoshopping and digital re-imagining of the self to its most extreme conclusion with our new video. We laid out loose guidelines for a huge number of creative digital artists and let them run free with their imaginations, each editing literally only a few seconds of video in total. The result is a very colourful and diverse explosion of ideas, the image of ourselves re-imagined hundreds of times in 3 minutes. We hope to open the imagination and raise some thoughts about what it means to change our perceptions of ourselves to the extent we do.”

  I agree with that, it gets better with every watch, and you also find new things! It’s brilliant! Sad it doesn’t have parts refering to “My teeth dazzle like an igloo wall” “chest pumped elegantly elephantine” ans so on , though.
