Who’s the walking figure in the Spotify visualization?

March 7, 2024 12:45 AM

Spotify keeps pushing me to click on a music genre when I go into the search tab. The first thing that comes up is a clip of Leonard Cohen’s It Seemed the Better Way with the hashtag #poetry. It includes a visualization of what looks like a rotoscoped Leonard Cohen walking on a heath with a cane. Here’s a screenshot. What’s the original for that walking figure? Is it a video of Leonard Cohen or someone else?

It could well be a "canvas" video sniplet. Explanation from Reddit

Response by poster: That seems very likely, but I haven’t found the source yet. None of the videos I’ve found from any of the official social media accounts look similar.
