TELL ME
This is a music video I directed and animated for Giraffage.
The video chronicles the story of four dogs that long for benefits that a life as a human would bring them. Their wish is granted and their dreams seem to be fulfilled until the reality sinks in that being a human isn't all it's cracked up to be.
This project will always be remembered as one of my favorites to to the amazing people that helped out and brought such talent both in front of and behind the camera. The shoot was one of the best shooting experiences of my career and was unbelievably positive and fun. It's these sort of shoots that reaffirm that this is what I have to do: make art.
