Prefuse 73 – Still Pretending
Prefuse 73 – Still Pretending (2015)
Directed by: Lilfuchs
Prefuse 73’s recent trilogy of releases (Forsyth Gardens, Rivington Não Rio, Every Color of Darkness) pays homage to his New York City neighborhood in Chinatown, so it’s fitting that Adult Swim producer Lilfuchs created a vibrantly dynamic animated video for “Still Pretending” that captures the energy of that bustling, sleepless neighborhood.
“The concept of a constant zoom with animation was an idea I had for a long time. I’ve always wanted to create something similar to a fractal image while also telling a story along the way. So, when Guillermo and I were introduced by Jeremy deVine (owner of Temporary Residence Ltd.), we talked about his triptych albums and how he was inspired by Roosevelt Park and his surrounding environment where he lives in Chinatown. Guillermo had the idea to make the Sara D. Roosevelt Park a main focal point to tell the story. This gave me a lot of freedom for ideas being that the park itself stretches 3 blocks and is filled with basketball courts, soccer fields, kids playgrounds and community gardens. Based on the zoom I had to work completely backwards and that was a great challenge but carefully blocking out the parks redundant facilities allowed me to be pretty creative. Thank god for Google street view!” – Lilfuchs
