Fons Scheidon is one of those unique voices that comes jetting down from the mesosphere every so often with a project that could only come from his delightfully odd mind. For his latest gig, a music video for Voicst’s “Feel Like a Rocket,” Fons teamed up with some of the same crew that worked on the MTV Asia MobSquad series, including the bad-ass character animators at Brazilian studio Birdo.
At the risk of traipsing into pseudo-psychological territory, I think the reason Fons’ work speaks to me is because of the way it combines faded memories of Saturday morning cartoons with my current reality, one that is tinged with the grotesque and absurd commonalities of modern life. “Feel Like a Rocket,” for instance, has a Thundercats-ish retro warmth to it, but it’s about a dysfunctional band of intergalactic misfits getting together to rock the universe. It makes no sense. And yet it makes total sense.
