Music starts (we went with Vivaldi's summer), the CG world around her dissolves and she falls into this music transient state where she is a Plasticine stop-motion character. Running, action, and movement are timed with the crescendos as she struggles to outrun buildings closing in on her. They finally meet at the climax and drag her back to the pseudo-real CG world.

Concept: Music can transport you to a completely different place, and offer intense experiences. Our character moves from the grey mundane to the vibrancy of heightened emotion and back. In collaboration with Brendan (BHD). 3D modelling, animation, rendering. Stop motion plasticine animation. Location filming. Finally; editing, slicing, dicing and colour keying in After Effects. Limitations - quality of captured stop-mo stills, and learning the software. Overall debrief - interesting concept, difficulty implementing the vision with a wide range of techniques required.
