Smiley face balloons, deadpan expressions, and a slow-motion wink at the meaning of it all.
The Heavy Heavy – “Happiness” BTS Stop Motion
Shot behind the scenes during the Happiness music video set, this stop motion was a playful nod to the song’s name — and its contrast.
We came to the shoot with a pack of smiley face balloons and a loose plan: have the band hold them with total deadpan expressions, then release them slowly in the studio.
The result? A lo-fi visual that’s both ironic and oddly tender — stitched together frame by frame like a wink to the song’s deeper mood.
Made with: balloon impulse buys, stills from set, stop motion sequencing
