I mean, you can&#8217;t go wrong with rainbows. French director and motion graphic artist <a href="http://www.nicolasplaire.com/"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Nicolas Plaire</span></a> knows what I&#8217;m talking about. The beginning is my favourite, with the bursts of animated colour pocketing the stark grey of reality.</p>

<p>It reminds me of the work of of <a href="https://shapeandcolour.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/theo-gennitsakis/"><span style="color:#00ccff;">Théo Gènnitsaskis</span></a> (who, coincidentally, though he&#8217;s Greek, lives in Paris half the time; something about the French makes them unafraid of rainbows jumping out of the walls).</p>
<p>Then it gets a little weird. The girl drinks some kind of hallucinogneic NBC-logo water (you&#8217;ll know it when you see it) and goes off on a trip. A beautiful, non-sensical, prismatic, &#8220;Dark Side Of The Moon&#8221; cover-esque trip.</p>
