A version of the children's song "Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap" by Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows from 2007 album Les Fleurs du Mal.

This video is meant to portray the change of focus in the music of Sopor Aeternus. From depression and death to topics with a more positive perspective on life.
Oh, and to emphasize that this is "music for dead children", I made it as a doll theatre.

  • This is incredible, easily one of my fave videos on youtube, is it really difficult to use Adobe After Effects??

  • @LysanderScamander Thank you. That's nice to hear ... I didn't really find it that hard to use. You can watch a lot of very helpful videotutorials around the web, for free. But you'll need a pretty good computer for HD material. The final rendering for this video (1 min 47 sec) took 6 to 7 hours.

  • WOW that is rrreally beautiful, well done! :)

    It conveys the overall atmosphere and feeling of this particular album oh so nicely! Congratulations! :)

  • @waxarlequin Thanks :) that's just what I was going for.

  • what software did you use btw? it looks really nice

  • @LesFleursduMal616 Thanks a lot. I appreciate it :) ... I've used Adobe After Effects CS5, and it took me a couple of months.
