Multimodal and Transmedia Storyworlds in Animated Music Video: Jess Cope and Steven Wilson's "Routine"
This digital curation exhibit is discussed in the forthcoming publication:
Lori Burns. "Multimodal and Transmedia Storyworlds in Animated Music Video: Jess Cope and Steven Wilson's 'Routine' (2015)," in Transmedia Directors: Sound, Image, and the Digital Swirl. Edited by Carol Vernallis, Lisa Perrott, and Holly Rodgers. Bloomsbury Press, forthcoming, 2019.
Special thanks to Jada Watson, Laura McLaren, and Ryan Blakeley for their contributions to the project.
As we navigate the timeline, we experience the dynamic intersections between and among words, music, and images in this animated music video, moving in temporal order from one section of the song to the next. Each section of the video is treated as an "Event" in the timeline. The transmedia contexts for the video are provided in "Event 0".
The interested reader is invited to visit the curated exhibit for the full album, Hand. Cannot. Erase. by Steven Wilson, also available in this Musical Storyworlds website.
