Art Direction - Samael Zelaya
Animation - Samael Zelaya, Karolin Gu, Christoffer Morales, Catalina Matamoros
Music: Juan Havana - Käkarnas Balett
Music Prod: Masse Salazar
Juan Havana, a Swedish rapper and hiphop producer (Advance Patrol) approached me and asked if I'd be interested in collaborating doing visuals again. Juan was going to start doing his own solo tracks and was about to release Käkarnas Balett in the coming weeks. His thoughts were something static, like a cool designed promotional poster or something along those lines, we were short on time, after all.
My idea, on the other hand, was to bring together a band of coolcat animators and have each contribute with a short loop in our style, creating a grid of black and white animations. That way we could time it to a short preview sample of the music track and share it on social media for everyone to have a listen. In turn, if we made it in the 9x16 format it would conform with Spotify's Canvas standards. That way we have both a promo video and a Spotify canvas background in one go!
Needless to say he loved the idea and I set out to work!
