Po-Chen Chia and I luckily have this opportunity to direct the music video of okaywill’s latest single ‘Falling For You’.
The music company Majestic Casual teamed us up with artist Anthony Zinonos to make a vintage-looking, minimal music video with character animation and paper cut-out shapes.

Po and I created a seamless storyboard with playful ideas between the character and shapes such as perspective, depth, interaction and negative space to add a fun, cheerful tone to the visual language along with Okaywill’s cozy, feel good music style. To keep the character consistent, instead of using found images we took an extra step of photo shoot with our talent Alex Mariscal, creating a whole set of ready to use collage assets to achieve the challenge for a stop motion-ish character animation with many perspective changes.
