This music video was initially created on the computer using several pieces of 3D animation software. After the digital version was finalized, all 1,480 frames of the video were then individually printed using inkjet printers. Once an image was printed, it was then painted, drawn, and illustrated on top of using traditional animation techniques. Lastly, the newly illustrated frames were scanned back into the computer and sequenced into the final film.

Role in Project
My role on this project was co-director, designer, and cel animator. I've worked on the early concept and story of the music video alongside Saad Moosajee and studio Art Camp. Furthermore, I developed the experimental technique of illustrating on top of the 3D animation using a mixture of traditional and experimental techniques. I illustrated every 1480 individual frames of this music video by hand and lastly worked on the frame-by-frame post-production process in photoshop.
