A music short made as an entry for the official Pink Floyd competition, "Backside of the Moon", for the song Brain Damage. I did art directing, animating, and editing. Animation following the song's lyrics explores themes of insanity and political control. There was a partial experimentation with Runway ML to create some of the backgrounds. animation
