Revelation Ground

Revelation Ground

The stop-motion animation video for Rachael Sage’s self-produced single REVELATION GROUND was created by Antje Duvekot, who has a two-decade career as both a touring musician and animator. Antje explains: "I wanted to reflect the gentle femininity and also the boldness and strength that the song evokes for me. The scenes are meant to reflect the process. Moving from dark and cold to light and warm, as well as finding your community. I wanted to allude to the metaphor "resilience through music and through self-expression". The bird flying out of the typewriter and the ice breaker and the opening cocoon and the recurrence of people playing music in various settings is meant to highlight the superpowers that are music and community.

When Debargo inexplicably bolts from the party where he and Kevin have just met and hit it off, Kevin gamely follows along. The two encounter (and flee) a number of antagonists - a cop, an ex, a bratty kid and his entitled mom - building friendship along the way, but when they run into Debargo's cousin and Kevin learns why they've been running this whole time, Debargo runs away from him too. Kevin follows and helps Debargo find a bit more peace with the fact that wherever you go . . . there you are.
