release music video 'Internet' Moi et le Théo (French version)
Sarah Baur made a music video for Ik en den Theo's song 'Internet' based on the illustrations she made for the Book+CD 'Ik en den Theo/Moi et le Théo'.
Sarah Baur used the Stop Motion technique in a digital environment to animate the illustration she had made for the book that accompanied the first CD. This resulted in a fun and child friendly music video, that incorporates the full lyrics in a playful and organic way so everybody can sing along. There's is also a Dutch version to be enjoyed. 'Internet' is a good humoured song about the frustrations that arise in children when everybody around them is absorbed in their screens.
