Nice trippy stuff to start the week with. For “Boys Latin,” Panda Bear enlisted visually adventurous indie animators Isaiah Saxon and Sean Hellfritsch. The result is a video every bit as hallucinatory and sumptuous as their psychedelic Jim Henson-esque piece for Björks Wanderlust, but with a nod to the graceful, panoramic motion of Studio Ghiblis animated films Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky. Saxon and Hellfritschs San Francisco-based Encyclopedia Pictura studio took four months to animate in 3D. Its the story of a young woman out for a hike among tidal pools, whose body and perception turn phantasmagorical after she touches a sea anemone. After growing accustomed to her new state of being, the woman meets a man who is in the midst of a similar reaction, and the two continue through the environment together. The pairs mental and bodily reactions, though surreal and psychedelic, arent fantasia but Saxon and Hellfritschs attempt to create a synaesthetic effect—a blending of the senses—between humanity and nature.
