Evan Polivy (PolivisionProductions) is a student at the Rhode Island School of Design and as part of his groups final project they put together this great “music video narrative” that was inspired by Cudi’s debut album “Man on the Moon: The End of Day”. Here’s what he had to say:

The video is a collaborative senior thesis project between Matt Cavallaro, Christin Neal, and myself (all students at The Rhode Island School of Design – we graduate in 2 weeks). We felt a strong connection to Cudi’s music and wrote a story based on the narrative Cudi tells in Man on the Moon: The End of Day. We call it a “music video narrative,” because it’s partially a music video and partially a narrative short film. It’s about a troubled teenager who uses music to escape into his own space fantasy where he finds the girl of his dreams.

It’s a slow time on the site so don’t forget to frequent the forums and chat amongst the other 2,500+ Cudi fans already signed up. And if your really looking to kill some time you can always watch hours of video on KidCudi.tv.
