Description: Show It 2 Me is an interactive VR music video created using Tilt Brush’s audio reactive brushes featuring Night Club’s single, “Show It 2 Me.” Show It 2 Me first debuted at SXSW’s Virtual Cinema 2017. It features art created by Titmouse president and owner Chris Prynoski and Titmouse Creative Director Antonio Canobbio using the audio reactive brushes in Tilt Brush – Google’s virtual reality app.
The viewer will go on a trippy, visual ride featuring demonic cars, pulsating brains, and disembodied tongue-mouths. Named after the song by Night Club, an electronic music duo from Los Angeles that features Emily Kavanaugh and Mark Brooks, Show it 2 Me is co-directed by Mark Brooks and Dylan Carter.
Review: Some people enjoy watching these “VR” music videos and others don’t. Personally I really like them and as long as the visuals blend perfectly with the audio I think they can be surprisingly immersive (if only for a very short while). Show It 2 Me is one of the better ones as it is not just a treat for the eyes and ears, but it is also art and a treat for our cultural selves. Sure it doesn’t last long, but at least it is free for us all to enjoy it. Also, you don’t have to own a VR headset as you can watch the whole thing in the video below! Why not watch it and let me know what you think about it in the comments below.
