Collaborative process:
Was a very enjoyable collaboration with Matt. He established the style frames, and then I developed the broad strokes of The layouts throughout, with the camera moving along from one scene to the next, developing the pace of the camera jumps. Matt then went in added the sub-context and smoothed out the fine details. While Matt was running his fine comb, I established more tertiary animations and animated the choruses. Matt picked the project back up and pushed the additional elements and flossed out the choruses into the verses.
