I have a lot to say about this project, but I will not be posting about that here. Suffice to say, I worked hard for over three years, to get the licensing for the music and original (or new) vocals, and soundtrack, so long as I shared what I made from it (or any derivatives thereof). I was happy to comply, because I had long been planning to do something with this song. It would be akin to a creative exorcism, but with a twist into something I thought would prove unexpected, original, disturbing, and if not also, heartbreaking. 

While I would still like to make it, it sits there in a drawer I keep opening and closing, it is where I put all my hopes and dreams. The older I get, the easier it is to forget they were there with which to begin, which is not unlike the characters in this short. Unlike them, I do not have a relative "eternity" to live, so I must make the most of every day.

Many of the images below are incomplete, WIPs like storyboards, and other content that were at various stages of iteration. I am not presenting much of this in any specific order, because it is not possible without the many more hundreds of pieces of 2D and 3D Art, models, animation tests, copy, music, sfx, vfx tests, etc, that are lost to time.

If you are interested, I posted these on Instagram, with commentary and contextual storytelling in the notes. It's not a complete narrative without the other visuals, but I think it gives enough of an idea about where the story (seems) to begin: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3w_Oz8hWKf

Yes, this was the song: Oh, Industry! I worked very hard to convince artists from other departments to contribute their skills. I was not looking to mimic the movie in any way. I was only using the music. I had two composers who worked on interesting approaches, for what a revision of the music with a new video - slash - short film might have sounded.
