This video is one of 2 (selected from almost 500 entries by Moby and Genero.tv) that has made it as a runner up in the Wait For Me Video Competition!
From the director:
"It wasn't until a couple of weeks after I heard about this competition through a mailing list, that I had the idea for the video. The song is very melancholy so I figured doing it in a computer game style would make for some nice juxtaposition. That's right, juxtaposition.
Its different to anything I've animated in the past, because essentially the whole clip is made of two-frame cycles. I played a lot of Super Mario World to get the right look for it.
It's always easier to make a music video for an artist/band if you have a preexisting interest in them. For example, I probably wouldn't make a video for ZZ Top. But I remember when my sister first introduced me to Moby (not him, just his music obviously) in 2000. I loved "Play", which was one of the albums that got me interested in electronic music. So, to be able to make a video for Moby is a nice way to salute him for the deliciousness his music has brought to my ears over the years (excuse the rhyme)."
