Samy Deluxe: Poesiealbum
Nico Uthe, art director and motion designer in Hamburg: 'The German rap artist Samy Deluxe asked us to create a music video for his song 'Poesiealbum'. A poesiealbum is a kind of black book usually used for poetic content.
'Our aim for the rap part was to visualize the lyrics as motion graphics inside the book, but we wanted to do that in many different ways and styles. We tried not to visualize every word directly; at many parts the sense is hidden, so viewers normally won't realize every meaning by watching the clip the first time. Sometimes it's kind of a picture puzzle.
'Samy Deluxe is famous for being the fastest rapper in German-speaking countries. So it was kind of hard to find good ideas for illustrating and visualizing his lyrics and especially for creating good transitions in between. Fortunately, we received some help from the graphic guys at Typeholics.
'Our aim was to make all the motion graphics look realistic. Even the way the graphics build up are supposed to look authentic. I guess this was the biggest challenge of the project.
