Fitter Happier - A film by Aaron Hinton. Music By Radiohead.
I am a huge fan of Radiohead, and this specific song/narration inspired me to create this video. As you watch it, please take into consideration the symbolism behind it. This isn't just a video about some cardboard robot walking around. Think about the deeper meaning. It bothers me that some people think they need to fit into society's standards, that they need to be a specific person with a specific look and a specific set of skills. If you are one of these people, then YOU are the robot in this video. You are a robot of society. Break free and become the person God made you to be. Don't restrict yourself to the "perfect" lifestyle or you will never be truly happy.

Very nice and quite extraordinary!

@PatrickD14 Thanks so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I always hope that people can see and understand my art. :)

[spencerman13]

I remember this video! it was in the utah film festival was it not??

[aaronhintondotcom]

@spencerman13 Yes, it was! I'm glad you remembered it!

I actually very much like this video, it really reminds me of just, well as you said the "robots of society"

a friend of mine came up with a different analogy for the same thing:

Society is just a mass production of plastic bunnies, all the same, manufactured looks, the only variations between them is the paint.

It's always been a major life priority to be my own person and do what I want to do

[aaronhintondotcom]

@BlueberryButts Thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad you like it so much! :) And I'm so glad that ou understand the meaning behind it too! That's exactly what I wanted to portray- that we should all be our own individual people, and make something great out of ourselves.

[InsaneCalcifer]

Amazing.

[TheGemsizzle]

Totally speechless. This is so beyond anything.

[Goberte123]

@spencerman13

Yeah it was!

[phillthyphill94]

This is SUCH a great film. I love how you took a song (by my favorite band i should add) that is already so critical of society and put a wonderfully done film to it. Great lighting and there are a bunch of interesting shots in here. You definitely captured the tone that the song already had. I'm very impressed and enjoy this a lot :)

You know what i like the most about this video.. is the scene with the Coc-a-cola

"having a drink, now and then." cola is so damn addictive.. now and then is understatement
