The themes of thissong – the loss of somethingsimple, perhaps a sense ofinnocence within a relationship– strangely brought these backto mind. We acquired a numberof the films then re-edited andanimated over them adding some‘reality’, so they lost that innocentfeeling and meaning they oncehad. We have no idea what Mr.Harryhausen will think if he seesit, but some of the new cartoonviolence makes parts of the videodarkly funny, which he might like.”Using Premiere to edit and 3dsMax and After Effects to animateand composite, the video waswrapped in just under twosleepless weeks.For WitchitaCommissioner: Jill KaplanToolkitPremiere, 3ds Max, After Effects
