Earlier this year I was asked to create an EP cover for The Gumbo Ya-Ya's. Following the direction of the EP, I was then asked to create the design for their debut LP. And then I offered to make them a music video too, even though I had no idea how I was going to do it...

For the music video I got the band to perform in front of a greenscreen in an empty club. I keyed that all out, edited a rough version - and then began rotoscoping the animation frame-by-frame in Photoshop. Once that was done I finalised all post-production in After Effects and rendered it out. The entire thing took forever, but I'm super happy with how it came out!
