Animator for Jack's Radio

We are seeking an animator to create a four-minute animated music video for Sharp Marbles’ song “Jack’s Radio.” The video should follow a young boy as he leaves his wheelchair and flies through multiple worlds, scenery, and places, reflecting the song’s changing musical styles. The visual direction can take inspiration from the imaginative, psychedelic feel of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine animation.

The story is inspired by Jack, the nephew of guitarist Rob Carlson, who loved music. By the end of the song, the boy should morph into a blackbird as the blackbird chant begins. We will provide the song as creative reference.

Here are the lyrics to the song:

Jack’s Radio

Lord prepare this day ahead
Still the noise that wants to rise
This child fills my heart with joy
It’s pure love that kisses my eyes

God’s grace surrounds me
it’s a song that makes you cry

Living in the flow of Jack Radio

Rainbow ribbons
and Mardi Gras beads
you fill each day with colors
and magic rooms with many dreams

When angels sing you believe
there’s a love that we all need

Living in the flow of Jack Radio

His days will never stop for me
Love never needs help to see
He found me, finding him

That’s how everyday begins
that’s how I tune in

Living in the flow of Jack Radio
