Synopsis

A mechanical world of scrap metal, springs, wires and battered surfaces comes alive in stop-motion. Objects twist, collide and transform as if trapped inside an improvised pinball machine, with the camera darting through an urban landscape of industrial textures and street-level debris. There is no conventional storyline or human cast; instead, the video turns discarded materials into restless characters, matching the track's melancholy pulse with a strange, tactile sense of motion and metamorphosis.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was created as a stop-motion short using scrap-metal imagery and practical animation rather than a conventional live-action performance.
  • Its visual concept was described as an "industrial chic pinball game with street grit," an apt match for the track's restless percussion and fragmented electronic textures.
  • The film was originally intended to be part of a series of short pieces promoting Flying Lotus' album *Until the Quiet Comes*. It was later released independently as its own short.
  • The animation was made under the name Motiphe Animation.
  • Flying Lotus said that "All the Secrets" was a sad song for him, connected to memories of hurting women he cared about. That personal interpretation contrasts with the video's playful, kinetic treatment of metal objects.
  • The track was briefly known as "Roaring Closet" before Flying Lotus changed the title to "All the Secrets," wanting listeners to focus on the idea of secrets rather than make assumptions based on the earlier name.
  • "All the Secrets" appears as the sixth track on *Until the Quiet Comes*, which Warp Records released in October 2012.
  • The clip was featured by animation and production publications in January 2013, helping position it as an experimental animated short as much as a traditional music video.
