Adam and Eve a la David Wilson for Skream

Adam and Eve a la David Wilson for Skream: from Motionographer


The crew over at Blinkink have been one of the few major forces in the UK keeping the spirit of indie music videos alive — one of the leaders of the pack is a young fellow called David Wilson. Named best new music video director last year at the MVA’s last year, he continues to push the envelop with his latest oddity for Skream and his most ambitious narrative to date; the story of Adam and Eve.
Along with a few other London up-and-comers, David is leading the charge with a return to craft and sweat. Raw labor and a love for exhaustive and often archaic techniques, specifically Strata-Cut animation in this piece, produce consistently fresh visuals.
And the making of…


On a side note, this video was actually commissioned by Blink themselves via Tempa — an interesting new take on a self-generative model.
