The Mouth Project

[starsystemerror]

The order I make these is not the order they are in the albums, for the most part, because trying to do that would probably burn me out instantly. I just make whatever I find the most inspiration or motivation for in the moment. That said, my first video is track 14 of the first album, Melt Everyone.

I would recommend watching the videos before reading their artist statements, so I'll put the statement below in spoiler tags. I also try to keep these videos fairly tame, enough that I can post them comfortably without in-video trigger warnings, but I'll give any major possible warnings in advance in this thread.

For example, this video is centered around melting objects: primarily toys, but some chocolate bunnies too. Some of the toys catch on fire at points. The scene transitions do not flash very rapidly, but they are a quick flash to black and then the next clip.

At first glance, this video is not particularly deep. I mean, it's called "melt everyone." Everyone is melting. That's pretty self-explanatory. And a lot of this video was based off that rather funny idea! However, this video was also made during a really rough heat wave in my area, one that was happening right at the end of August, where every day had a little "higher than historic record high" note on it in my phone's weather app. As of me writing this, it's nearing the end of September, and I'm still being given the "higher than record high" notices, wearing shorts and having to run the A/C in the Midwest USA just before the autumn equinox. That's not right. Everyone is melting, and that includes the cute little clumps of processed oil that we call toys and candy.
