Lab · Vertical music video (9:16) · 32s

Google It!

A music video built entirely from search UI. The song says “Google it”; in 2026 nobody googles anymore. Every plate takes a piece of the search page and pushes it into an AI-era joke.

Lab piece

A self-initiated experiment, not client work. The song belongs to its creator, so the music is left out of this page; the cut is designed to read with the sound off. Brand names appear only as part of the joke.

(01) Idea

The idea

One recurring object: the search bar. Its magnifier becomes the O in GOOGLE, the crowd’s grid becomes a keyboard, the keyboard types the next query. Every cut lands on a beat and carries geometry across it: a ring, a grid, a pill, a meteor’s flash. The last beat clears the search bar back to the first frame, so it loops.

The query: autocomplete drifting to “stop asking ai”
The query
GOOGLE IT! over a crowd of 8 billion
Everybody: 8,100,000,000 results
A keyboard pressing keys on the drums
Click clack: keys on the drums
A results page that contains itself

How it's made

Rendered in code, frame by frame: a WebGL engine with HDR bloom, grain, chromatic aberration and real motion blur, driving Canvas UI that is drawn crisp at any zoom. The song was analysed for beats, downbeats and drum hits, and the sung hook words were aligned to the vocal, so every press, slam and cut lands on the music. Safe zones stay clear for platform captions and buttons.
