cartoons are a way of delivering a story: a progressive narrative or a thread of subjects, the main point is unfolding an idea. collaborating with music artists has been a delightful chance to blend cartoon plots with a different medium of sound.
mooden the cat
large-scale animation started with mooden the cat. a cartoon happened to be an appropriate way of telling a story about the character. in the video his name is explained, his habits & leisure described.
waiters — music video
single from mad meg’s alum ‘who deserves balloons & medals’. the initial idea behind the video was bits & pieces of references, many of those based on gestures to mad meg discography & the lyrics.
when love turns
music video for single from sons of venus album ‘crisis to crisis’. animated visual narrative relies on the lyrics & love. the idea for the video is a complicated emotion: a feeling of being frustrated & damaged, yet finding the strength to somehow manage.
the horse is not mine
“the horse is not mine” is named after an old russian idiom to deny one’s responsibility in a situation that goes, “i am not me, and the horse is not mine.”
