The 1993 music video for Tripping Daisy’s “Blown Away” stands as a vibrant, kaleidoscopic landmark in alternative rock history. Directed by Alex Halpern, the project eschewed the typical grit of the early nineties in favor of a frantic, psychedelic animated world. This visual journey blends high-energy pop-rock sensibilities with a hallucinogenic style, creating a surreal environment that feels both chaotic and meticulously crafted.
Produced by a dedicated team of young creatives in their mid-twenties, the video was the result of weeks of intensive studio work. The final product is a departure from the era’s standard rock aesthetic, trading traditional performance shots for intense colors and fluid, dreamlike motion. It successfully captures a sense of artistic unrest, inviting the viewer into a “crazy world” that remains as engaging and energetic today as it was upon its release.
