A fully realized 2D animated music video that transforms sound into story through expressive, character-driven visual storytelling.
✦
This animated music video was developed through a full end-to-end animation pipeline, from initial concept and planning through final delivery. Working closely with the band, I translated the emotional tone, rhythm, and narrative qualities of the song into a stylized 2D animated world centered on character-driven storytelling.
The project began with collaborative planning and visual development, including color exploration, character design, and storyboarding. A detailed animatic was created to establish pacing, shot structure, and visual continuity prior to animation.
The final piece features hand-drawn 2D animation across multiple scenes, combining rough, cleanup, and color animation with motion-enhanced elements for smoother transitions. In addition to the music video itself, promotional stills were designed using frames from the final animation for use across digital platforms.
