Lemieux Pilon 4D Art

This is one of those wonderful days where I get to share something absolutely jaw-dropping with you. Not that I don't consider everything on this blog to be incredible, but every now and then somebody will show me a video so mind blowing that I'll forget how to breathe until it's over. And then I'll drop everything I was doing and post it here.

Behold... the work of master multimedia artists Michael Limieux and Victor Pilon, collectively known as Lemieux Pilon 4D Art. You know how when you hear about new methods and software and pieces of technology and you think to yourself "wow, I wonder what this will make possible." This is the beginning of the answer to that query, and I have a feeling that it's just the tip of the iceburg. This is the rare kind of visual stuff that makes you literally question what's possible in live theatre and whether anything isn't.

Below, I will share with you a video of excerpts from their live show La Belle et la BĂȘte. If this doesn't knock the wind out of you, nothing will.

"Somewhere" by Big Ideas Productions

So clearly, I took a hiatus from doing this blog while I finished out the semester. School's done, so we can have some fun again  :)

It isn't immediately clear who or what Big Ideas Productions is. He/she/they are a gifted video and animation artist who posts YouTube videos under the user name Pygyn, and I'm going to share with you my favorite piece from their lot. It's called "Somewhere". A beautiful and, to my knowledge, original song set to a touching and imaginative animated visual journey. Check it out below, and if you like what you see, you can find more of their work on their YouTube channel.
