Inspired by the “Sorcerers Apprentice,” Motion Theory and Director Mathew Cullen just completed “A Natural Symphony” for McCain’s chips. This poetic tale of a farmer’s relationship with his land shows him conducting the elements to grow the perfect crops.
The piece’s rich cinematography and subtle effects have become a staple in Motion Theory’s work. Its dynamic choreography should also be no surprise — from the director and studio that brought you the best of the HP Hands campaign and other choreography-driven pieces like Adele’s “Chasing Pavements”.
Yes, I know this isn’t too far from tails of Maestro. But, I think there are enough conceptual and visual differences for the glory of this piece to remain untainted.
