WoW Moviewatch: Blue Sunny Day

The subtle mix of Jonathan Coulton and Spiffworld continues to go together like peanut butter and jelly. I obviously can't speak for Mr. Coulton, but I feel like Spiff manages to nail a video to each song with absolutely perfect alignment. Spiffworld's newest release is a take on Blue Sunny Day and continues the monster-as-focus history from Cruel, Cruel Moon.
As the story goes, Jonathan Coulton debuted Blue Sunny Day in Chicago. Originally, Coulton wanted to create a happy song. But the dual meaning of blue (that is as the color of the sky, but also as a metaphor for sadness) struck Coulton with inspiration. Who could be blue about a nice, sunny day? The answer is obvious: a vampire.
The lyrics of the song don't directly reference the protagonist as a vampire, but there was no way Spiff couldn't make the video about a blood sucking fiend.
Great job to Spiff on another wonderful video. These are always a treat to which we look forward.

Great video. Kinda sad but funny at the same time, I love these. Future Soon is also one of my all time faves, no cutting edge 3D stuff here, just simple, but well crafted machinima, and thats part of the charm, so cool!

I hate to be that guy, I'm afraid I must be that guy and say "Nothing like condoning suicide to be together with a lost loved one..." GAAAH! Had to do it!

Is it really suicide if you're a vampire?
