(2022) Poor Heart - music video (traditional animation)

I created traditionally animated music video for Ina Forsman on commission. Ina provided me a script and some early sketch ideas for the characters. I developed the characters a little bit, made turnarounds and designed color keys. Then I proceeded on making animatic based on the original storyboard. During the animatic phase, lot of time was spent on making the music and animation sync on cues that Ina supported me. After that, the project was exported from single scene on Storyboard Pro into multiple scenes on Harmony, where they were animated, inked, colored and toned. The finished scenes were sent to Jarno Elonen for VFX & post-processing.
