"This music video tells a story of a boy who creates a world with his
drawings - meets some bad guys but befriends them and gets the girl in
the end.
The boy is acted by the directors brother, Tomi, who in real life draws
dozens of pictures a day, listens to great deal of music and writes
stories about robots, droids and saving damsels in distress - he likes to
call himself the "Ambassador of good will".
The director originally aimed to make a short film about his brother, but
when the band Delay Trees contacted him in the hopes of a music video,
he realized their music made the perfect match for this story.
Filming took place in the dusk of the Western Finland's
countryside and was supplemented with shots in a local doll-museum.
To re-create that 8-mm retro-look, the director
attached vintage Canon FD lenses to his camera with a 35-mm adapter
built by himself. This added to the unique look of the piece.
Tomi's drawings were then
scanned in digitally and animated in 3D to interact with him in his
imaginative world."
