The music video featured above for the song All Your Light by Portugal, the Man is very similar to another music video I blogged about earlier in the year. In case you haven't seen it, here it is:
A conversation I had with a fellow fan of both bands sparked this blogpost, because she told me that both videos were created by the same artist. This seemed almost obvious after she shared this fact with me; of course they were made by the same person. They're so similar, right?
Wrong. After doing some more research, I realized that this was not true at all. The Portugal, The Man video was made by Justin Kramer and Lee Hardcastle, whereas the Grizzly Bear video was made by Allison Schulnik ( <-- check out her website, her work is outstanding!).
But why did it excite me that these two works of art might have been by the same person? Was it because I was simply glad to hear that two of my favorite bands had collaborated with the same artist, or was it because I felt like this new information gave me a deeper insight into the behind the scenes process for the creation of these videos? Maybe.
How do you think it would change your view of these two works if they were authored by the same person?
