Here's a lyric video I made for the song "Montage" from the film Swiss Army Man. This was a really fun project to work on. The crazy energy and primal lyrics of the song leant itself perfectly my naturally messy handwriting. This project was created for Lakeshore Records and A24.

 

Here's a pic of all the animation cells in the video. Some lyrics took quite a few takes to get right (typos! stumbling fingers!). Timing the animation so it synced with the lyrics was the most time-consuming (haha) part of the process. Individual brushstrokes were time-stretched and compressed with After Effects. Almost every stroke had to be sped-up or slowed down (my After Effects timeline had over 300 layers). A few people have asked me how I did the writing without showing my hands. "Did you use a green screen?" Nope! I used a Cloak Of Invisibility!
