Sonntag — Unforgiving Blues (In Paradise of all Places)
A 3D karaoke-style extravaganza for Sonntag’s “Unforgiving Blues”. Procedurally sound-reactive trees make up a forest that the animated singer floats through and a flying white pickup truck flies us through the clouds. 2D animated frogs and rabbits dance on-screen, and we eventually follow as Sonntag ascends to a wintery wonderland.
