My friend recently released a song called "My Girl" and I planned to make a music video for it in a pixel art style.
This whole project was done in 2 sittings from scratch to finish. The total time spent on making this project was around 17 hours.
Stay till the bottom of the project to hear the song and watch the full music video!
The story (loosely) behind this music video was that my friend is shown at a bar where he is spending his time and he sees a girl so beautiful that the time stops and he can't fathom the fact that someone like her exists. He thinks of approaching her but is hesitant but later on gathers up the gather required and walks up to her where he asks her to leave this bar and go somewhere more quiet where they can get to know each other. To his surprise he is immediately rejected and the tone goes somber. He walks out of the bar and out of nowhere his friend (me, lol) comes to pick him up to make the most of the remaining night. He agrees to tag along and they ride off into the distance on a rainy night.
Rough mood board to get an idea of the environment, shapes and order of the story.
Panel 1: Using phone, puts it down. Moves hand through hair.
Panel 1 Variant 2: +Man walks past
Panel 2: He is seen falling in his imagination implying that he is falling for this girl and has no control over this sensation.
Panel 3: The girl standing there minding her own business. The light on her head is all in his mind as he ignores the surroundings to focus on her.
Panel 3 Variant 2: The girl standing -The focus effect
Panel 4: He approaches the girl, patting her shoulder to get her attention. He asks her out and is immediately rejected.
Panel 5: Friend comes to pick him up after the brutal denial faced inside the bar.
Panel 6: They ride off into the night with no goal.
Final result:
I hope you enjoyed scrolling through this project and liked the end result. If you did, it would be awesome if you could show some support!
