The storyline in white frames
One of our most challenging projects is presented just here. We love anything that challenges us, but the challenge is indeed a tough one when it comes to delivering quality work in a few days, and we are talking about an animation video
We had a close window of 7 days to deliver an entire frame-by-frame animation of 2:44 minutes and to include the artist as a character.
With that in mind, we started to develop short-animations using certain words and bits in the song as triggers. Apart from our main character, we introduced the image of a haunting girl, always there in his memories, represented merely through her big curious eyes.
The symbol of hands weighted a great deal in how we chose to translate the song into imagery. Holding them together in love, in despair, giving unwanted touches or being numb.
Once in a while, some lines or frames were repeated to over accentuate the idea of how tormenting one's past love can be.
Some frames had to be interrupted by a handwritten text, adding to the emotional vibe of the song itself.
