In early 2012, I was standing in the shower letting the water run down over my head as I felt defeated from a break-up and various other personal matters. I wanted to just… step out. Not in a morbid sense, but I needed to step out from it all and take a deep breath. I realized I felt a lot like an illustration I had made not too long before, where an astronaut was being chased by a monster Earth. That image became more vivid in my head to the tune of a song I’d been singing all day, until I had to run out of the shower and, still wet, write it all down.
I got the singer’s blessings for the project and, six months later, I got together with the band to show them what I had done up to that point. It became the official video to the song. The video was officially released on February 2nd, 2013, and premiered at an art show/concert/costume party titled “The Ghost Choir Art Show.”
The video was created using a variety of mediums, including watercolor (the Moon), clay and acrylic (the Earth), pen illustration (the Astronaut), and vector graphics (the Sun), all animated in Flash. The entire project took about nine months.
