Animal Collective – Bridge to Quiet

Music video for ‘Bridge to Quiet’ by Animal Collective, to celebrate the first year anniversary of the EP with the same name. 

This visual started with a simple image in mind: the steps of a giant in sync with the song’s drumbeat. 

This EP was recorded by the band during lockdown and some of the sounds and the artwork evoked a bit of the struggle that comes with that situation, and the band also always had a strong connection with nature, so by thinking about those factors, we found the perfect place for our giant to live: on a desert island, floating in the ocean, but with the company of some friendly animals on his side.

The music video was entirely made in 3D, with us modeling multiple characters and animating them along with each other, and the visual inspirations came from children’s books to old cartoons.
