Working with director Simon Willows, our challenge was to create a short film for the introduction to a Nokia conference on Web 2.0.
We had to come up with various visual styles and ways to illustrate or randomly represent the written song lyrics. Together with Will Harper, Spencer Jones and art director Owen Gundry, we created some interesting effects, using techniques such as masks, stop-frame animation, live performance, post-production and puppetry.
