Incantations, Tea & Biscuits


INORI (Prayer) from nobumichi asai on Vimeo.

Inori means prayer in Japanese. Produced and created by Nobumichi Asai, the concept behind this video is roughly about magical prayers overcoming the destructive nature of radioactive forces. The dancers showcasing this remarkable piece of high speed Face/Motion Mapping are the popular vogueing duo known as AYABAMBI. (You might have noticed them in Madonna's tour videos last year)

Face/Motion Mapping can be incredible to look at, but takes considerable effort to realise. It took three months to make this one minute and ten second second video clip. But oh, what a result.

With an increasingly unstable world around us, themes like these resonate with the viewer. Dark though the theme may be, it also offers us a way out of suffering ; incantations, incantations, incantations.

My personal magic potion is a strong cup of Earl Grey tea with biscuits. Works every time!
