Synopsis
A wheelless robot from a futuristic Metropolis drifts through a series of strange, dreamlike environments. As the landscapes shift around her, she wanders, dances and responds to each new setting with a changing emotional energy. The video unfolds like a surreal road movie without a road, moving between abstract spaces, unusual colors and otherworldly scenery. Its fluid computer-generated imagery turns the song into a visual journey through the robot's inner world, where mood appears to shape the very reality surrounding her.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video is a fully computer-generated 3D animation rather than a live-action production.
- Its central figure is described as a "lysergic Metropolis robot," linking the clip to the visual language of early science-fiction cinema while giving the character a playful, psychedelic personality.
- The landscapes are presented as emotional spaces generated by the robot's mood. This makes the changing environments function less like physical locations and more like shifting states of mind.
- The production involved separate teams for modeling, set design, shading, rigging, animation, visual effects, color and rendering.
- Motion capture was used for the robot's movement. Dancers Andrietta Papp and Frida Forsberg supplied the captured performances.
- The track appears on Mum's 2013 album "Smilewound," released by Morr Music.
- The video was presented as an official music video for "When Girls Collide" and was made available through Vimeo.
- The animation and rendering credits include Renderizarte, while the post-production work combined editing, color treatment and visual effects to create the clip's fluid, synthetic look.
