Scarecrow Overview:
I was responsible for developing this narrative and bringing this film to life. The scenes combine Traditional cel, motion graphics, advanced 2D Rigs and 3D animation. It was all disguised with the overarching style developed for the Jewel Box Project, which includes my first project, Regimental Sgt. Zippo. The video is a love letter to Elton's songwriting relationship with Bernie Turpin over the years.
Sgt. Zippo Overview:
I was responsible for developing this period piece music video for the previously unreleased track Regimental Sgt. Zippo. The animation pays homage to 1960s classics, such as Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Crystal Tipps and Yellow Submarine, with the works of Animator and Director Terry Gilliam being the primary source of inspiration.
Other pieces from the Collection
Here are a few of lesser involved pieces I developed with a shared lyrical treatment. This maintained a level of brand consistency, all the while being able to house each of the unique assets that supported each song.
