I storyboarded, co-directed and edited this fun project.
Instead of trying to make something polished, we wanted to lean into the low budget nature of the video.

I was tasked with creating an immersive and narrative-driven lyric video for Fleur de Peau’s song “Les Oiseaux”. I wanted to create a multi-layered world of animated collage elements to reflect the multiple influences that inspired the song.
I used digital collage to created scenes in Adobe Photoshop then animated in Adobe After Effects.
For the lyrics, I used charcoal on paper and created multiple instances of each word to produce the animated ‘bubbling’ effect.
The project took 2 weeks to complete. I took on all the roles myself.

I was tasked with creating an animated lyric video for Patrick Krief’s track “Ivory Towers”.
I gathered digital and physical collage elements and animated a psychedelic world representing the liminal state between being awake and in a dream.
The song felt to me like a lullaby and I imagined the point where the lullaby’s words affect the dreamscape.
