Asked to create some animation for Cantopop singer/songwriter
Ivana Wong
Squid worked with
Vis Production
on this music video for this song, a slightly
forlorn account of how some people love their technological gadgets so much,
they have no time left for romance + organic creativity!
I like the idea of using animal characters to convey human issues, so the main
characters are a dog, a cat and a rabbit. The first two are obsessed with their
mobile devices and have no time for romance, while the rabbit enjoys "low tech"
activities like drawing and poetry..
LOW TECH - by Ivana Wong
At the beginning the world wasn't a mess!
Then.. it started when people rushed forwards too quickly
Technology is all about power and convenience.
People's legs got shorter and also their breath!
Before, things were done more slowly, more caringly, more romantically
Why would you want it any other way?
Imagination is caged by electronic appliances
Conversation is a couple of words online
Affection has become a distant old game.
Before, things were done more slowly, more caringly, more romantically
Why do people think it is too much of a bother?
No-one understands that to reach the limit means to reach the end..
Technology is not really doing anything..
Before, things were done more slowly, more caringly, more romantically
Why do people think it is too much of a bother?
Nobody understands that to reach the limit means to reach the end..
How can it be, that with electronic stuff, digital things, life is more romantic?
Why do people feel that having a date is too much bother?
While whoever cares less about tech spec, and more about creativity gets left behind?
I think that I might be slow, but I enjoy being different.
I think that I might be slow, but I enjoy being different.
Before, things were done more slowly, more caringly, more romantically
Why do people think it is too much of a bother?
How can it be, that with electronic stuff, digital things, life is more romantic?
Why do people feel that having a date is too much bother?
While whoever cares less about tech spec, and more about creativity gets left behind?
