Appropriately named The Weepies, Steve and Deb let their true band colors shine. "Quite simply, Michael Warner's video made us both teary," the Weepies proclaimed. "It is lovely, playful, and it captured something in the feeling of 'Hideaway,' but also created its own story - an elegant, mostly line-drawing animation of a bunch of little characters who see the stars disappear, then go on a journey to find them and put them back in the sky."
Warner took his love of the band and combined it with his dazzling animation skills. "I entered the challenge on imeem because I am a fan of The Weepies music, and I love music videos. I wanted to see if I could put together, visually, something fun that would be representative of the feeling I got from listening to the song."
"We offered the imeem community a chance to create a music video true to the feeling and heart of the Weepies' music", said Matt Graves, vice president of marketing communications at imeem. "Their response was almost overwhelming. We congratulate the winner, and the many people who submitted so many imaginative and cool videos. It's great to see bands, fans and creative types using imeem as a place to connect and create something amazing."
This video's magic is something that can be described in length, but as the Weepies themselves say "We can try to explain, but you should probably just watch it for yourself."
