“Jump Cut” is a stunning collage music video by Winston Hacking

Winston Hacking’s stunning collage music video “Jumpcut” for Canadian indie band Corridor, which recently won Best Commissioned Film at the 2024 Ottawa International Animation Festival, is not to be missed.

If you’re unfamiliar with the work of collage/stop-motion animator extraordinaire Winston Hacking, buckle up and get comfortable. In his latest work, he collaborates with stop-motion animator Philippe Tardif to delve into the chaotic landscape of mass media.

“Jump Cut” features a rhythmic collision of ephemeral videos and images that flow seamlessly together, highlighting the title track rather than simply complementing it. While “Hacking” relies on AI assistance, the film’s true power lies in its reflection of the overwhelming nature of technology and the barrage of mass media images that inundate our senses, leaving little time for reflection.
