Over the past while I was fortunate enough to be a part of the new Mother Mother music video! During January I was drawing a ton, working along with my buddy, and extremely talented music video director, John Poliquin (congrats to him on the 4 award nominations he recently received from the East Coast Music Awards). I created illustrations and animations which were in turn put into the music video by After Effects artist Ace Billet. It was one of the funnest projects I have gotten to be a part of, and I was able to have a bunch of creative input which was a big part of that. I never had any direct contact with the band, but from the notes I read they seemed to be fantastic to work with as well.
The song the video is for is called "The Stand" and will be on the new Mother Mother album "Eureka", set for release on March 15 2011, or you can purchase the song on iTunes now. "The Stand" is also streaming on their myspace. Keep your eyes peeled for the video to play on Much Music this month!
Here are some teaser screen shots of my drawings within the music video. I'll post the actual music video as soon as Last Gang Records throws it on youtube.
congrats man, i hope this is a platform to more of this type of work for you.
