I always enjoyed drawing as I often think of characters and landscapes that I imagined in my head, and I’ve been doing it since I was very young. I think of animation as more of an art form and a substitute for filmmaking, rather than being kids’ entertainment (although there are some exceptions). I often preferred the 2D animation format as I felt it was simple and easy, and I find 3D to be modern and advanced for me.

Walk is an animated music video from a country song performed by Gracey Denham-Jones. It follows the song’s description about the complexities and emotions of turning 18 during isolation. I used Procreate on the iPad to create the animation images and Camtasia to put it all together. It took five months to animate and complete the music clip.
