屁股人短片爆紅 趣怪風格發放正能量治癒網民
伏在床上、翹起屁股的「人仔」跟你「say hi」,這短片近日在互聯網瘋傳。究竟這隻「屁股人」是何方神聖?為何可以吸引一眾網民?
「屁股人」短片名為「Hi Stranger」(陌生人,你好),由動畫師Kirsten Lepore製作,「UNILAD」facebook專頁上載片段一星期,已有逾14萬網民讚好、逾13萬次分享,不少網民留言指看畢短片令人心情放鬆。
「Hi Stranger」片段長約2分半鐘,屁股人回頭望向鏡頭,與觀眾「對話」,其間屁股人會笑、用力吸氣和嘆氣。屁股人的對話內容提及,人們希望一次過做多件不同的事,擔心自己所下的決定、擔心說話有否得罪人,這些想法對自己太嚴苛;而每個人所做的事也是奇妙的,值得別人給予愛。
外媒:短片肯定人生價值
有外媒形容屁股人的對話肯定人生價值、態度正面,讓人知道即使身處最差的處境,仍然有人關顧你。自認為大壓力的你,看畢影片後心情亦會轉好。據外國媒體《It's Nice That》報道,Kirsten的創作靈感包括冥想、靈性及性別流動性等。英國網媒《Skwigly》訪問創作屁股人的Kirsten Lepore,她表示早前翻看舊畫簿時,發現以前貼在撰寫《探險時光》故事、Kent Osborne桌上的便條紙,紙上就是畫上屁股人的雛型。
Kirsten指,當她第一次看見屁股人時已目不轉睛,而此創作是Kent Osborne隨意的塗鴉,Kent Osborne亦不介意將便條紙轉贈,Kirsten便一直將便條紙貼在舊畫簿內。
事隔多年,Kirsten再次見到便條紙,獲Kent Osborne同意下,將屁股人製作成短片。短片除屁股人公仔外,亦配上對白及詭異音樂,對白由Garrett Michael Davis讀出,Kirsten指Garrett的聲音有種奇怪的親切感,又帶半分毛骨悚然,故相當適合作旁白。
