What Was That Video?

August 18, 2015 8:18 AM

Looking for a short video tinged with the fantastic I saw within the past year. Details within.

I've been Googling to no avail for a video I saw online under a year ago. Hoping MetaFilter can come to the rescue. Here's what I remember:

- Live-action
- Possibly titled with one word (not sure of that)
- Ten minutes, max
- A young man follows a voice--maybe from a butterfly?--through a forest-y wilderness. At one point the man lies down next to a fox (can't remember if the fox did anything unusual) and sleeps. While he does so, the fox decomposes via time-lapse. This is the image that has stuck with me.
- I likely saw it on a site like Tor.com or io9 or the AV Club, since those are where I tend to see intriguing videos in my Internet travels. Searching said sites has been fruitless. Maybe your search-fu is better than mine.

Thanks for helping me get rid of this brain-worm!

Best answer: It doesn't check all of your boxes, but the wilderness-y forest and the man sleeping next to a decomposing fox are in the Sigur Rós video called Ekki Múkk.

Response by poster: That's it! I forgot about the snail. And for some reason, I thought it was just a short film kind of thing rather than a music video.

Thanks a bunch, the webmistress!
