MAX HATTLER / jemapur: aanaatt

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT JEMAPUR: AANAATT

"the best use of stop-motion we’ve ever seen! ... It’s nice to see people still taking the time to do things the old fashioned way, even if it does take forever." LimitedHype

"Stop-motion mastery ... incredible work." avclub.us

"another banger piece ... Max's work is some of the most progressive and visually stimulating works created time and time again." TouchExplode

"One of four music videos commissioned by W+K Tokyo Lab for the release of 21-year-old Japanese producer Jemapur's latest album, 'Aanaatt' is as mystifying as its title. The track is of the sparse, bloopy variety one might associate with graphic designers in oppressively-rimmed glasses and Max Hattler's stop-motion, fixed camera video is accordingly abstract. 'Aanaatt' might've been overly academic in another director's hands, but the German helmer gives the song a curiously hypnotic warmth by deftly shifting colors, shapes, unrecognizable household objects, and lighting across an ever-changing, multi-layered surface." Boards Magazine

"Max Hattler turns his talents for abstract animation to stop motion and comes up with this intriguing exercise in upside-down random geometry for Japanese electronica artist Jemapur thru W+K Tokyo Lab."

"A stop-motion animation film from the up and coming German creator Max Hattler. The high-quality animation is fixed-film, shot through a fixed point camera, bringing a fresh new dimension to Jemapur’s musical world." W+K Tokyo Lab

"a stop-motion experiment in 'analog futurism'" Motionographer
