A lone figure traverses a post-apocalyptic Earth in search of signs of renewal in Elliot Dear’s absolutely exquisite animated music video Feel First Life, the UK director’s second collaboration with Jon Hopkins. The video was created through a mixture of stop motion and live action techniques, utilising intricately handcrafted miniature sets. It’s a film which can’t help but fill your heart with hope!

About the Author / MarBelle

MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the multi-decade incarnation of this disorder and remains so much cheaper than film school.
