Minneapolis Studio Make Dives Into A Neon-Noir World With Music Vid 'Alone In The Darkness'
“Alone in the Darkness” is a neon-noir music video for the Argentine indie band Siamés, created by Minneapolis animation studio Make and directed Danny Robashkin.
A long non-binary figure navigates menacing alleyways and along deserted sidewalks. Once home the individual struggles to sleep, haunted by a variety of demonic figures, and soon finding themself futilely fleeing the demons at every turn.
Facing one’s fears has become an increasingly prevalent theme in short animation – both for kids and adults. “Alone in the Darkness” is no exception. With its lush mix of black, blue, and red, the story – like the song – suggests that you can run all you want from your demons, but they’ll still be there the moment you turn around, so best you just meet them face to face and deal with your shit here and now.
To capture the continual shifts in mood, the team “designed the world to be dark, with light creating shapes from the outside in.” According to Make:
Instead of starting with white, we used black as the base. Characters were outlined in white, detailed with blue or red, and kept mostly black for high contrast. Each animator had their own method, usually starting with black lines, adding red or blue, and then white highlights, or mixing up the order based on what worked best for each shot.
On its own Youtube channel, Make posted an edit of the video that compares images from the animatic to the final video:
The scene of the crash at 26th Avenue North and Emerson Avenue North in Minneapolis. (FOX 9)

Woman sentenced in fatal Minneapolis crash
Big picture view:
Prosecutors say Teniki Steward drove a Buick Enclave into a bus shelter and a Ford Explorer after speeding through a red light.
Both of the women in the Ford Explorer died in the crash. They were identified as 53-year-old Ester Jean Fulks and 57-year-old Rose Elaine Reece.
During the crash, the Ford Explorer went off the road, injuring a 17-year-old boy who was waiting for a school bus.
The passenger in Steward’s vehicle also suffered injuries.
Minneapolis police said that Steward was also injured in the crash.
Steward pleaded guilty to multiple murder charges.
What they’re saying:
During the sentencing, the daughter of one of the victims had a statement read on her behalf:
“There’s nothing that can truly prepare you for the moment your entire world is taken from you. Losing my mom has left a pain in my heart that words will never be able to explain.”
What’s next:
Minnesota law requires that Steward serves at least two-thirds of her sentence, a bit under eight-and-a-half years, in prison.
Fatal Emerson and 26th crash
The backstory:
According to the criminal complaint, through surveillance videos from the scene of the crash and witnesses, investigators learned that Steward, driving the Buick Enclave, had been driving at a high rate of speed northbound on Emerson Avenue North.
Before the fatal crash, Steward sped through the intersection of Emerson Avenue North and Broadway Avenue North, running a red light and nearly causing a crash, the charges said.
Steward then continued to speed northbound down Emerson Avenue North, and ran another red light at 26th Avenue North, hitting the Ford Explorer, which was traveling eastbound, according to the complaint.
The Ford Explorer had been at the intersection of Emerson and 26th on a green light.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty shared the following statement:
“This was an egregious act that took Rose and Esther’s lives and injured a child waiting to go to school at a bus stop. Ms. Steward was driving at extremely dangerous speeds on city streets and narrowly avoided multiple collisions before the incident occurred. Third-degree murder charges are appropriate to hold her accountable and protect our community.”
