Shelter Review
Shelter is a piece of music created by song writer and maker Porter Robinson. However, the music video for Shelter has a marvelous set of animated visuals and a deep story behind it.
In this story, a young girl named Rin, is shown in a small bedroom. As the video progresses and the song begins, the room starts to dissolve, showing an empty world all the herself. With the help of a special tablet, she creates the world around her and she states that she is never lonely. Though, things start to appear in her world that she did not place there. Curious, she goes up to them and starts to have flashbacks of her times as a little girl with her father. The both are happy. She doesn't quite realize the smaller child is her yet, but she gets emotional watching. As she comes to the conclusion that it is her, she finds that Earth was about to be destroyed by another planet. Her dad had built a machine to be launched into space and kept her asleep, in her own mind. This machine gave her the power for her own world and, with these memories, she can live in her own space knowing who she was.
With this piece, I loved the different emotions they showed with colors and the mixture of 3D animation and 2D, and would love to put this into my work some time. On my own, I have learned to do 2D animation similar to this using frame-by-frame and some tweening. I, personally, believe the creator did a great job of telling the story with the music and made quite a unique story, at that. Though, I do think some portions of this, the animation isn't as smooth as it could be, but that is to be expected from anime at times. Overall, I still deeply love this music video and the premisce of it entirely.
