I had the pleasure of collaborating with Chihiro from Empathic Oaks Productions on a project that brought together her unique lo-fi sound and visual storytelling. Our partnership began at a virtual networking event.

Chihiro provided me with a captivating lo-fi track and video footage, for which they had the vision of a cartoon look. My role was to edit and transform this material into a cohesive and engaging music video. The aim was to reflect the nostalgic and laid-back vibe of the music through both the editing style and additional animations.

For the editing, I focused on a stylized approach that complemented the mood of the song. This involved carefully syncing the visuals to the rhythm and flow of the track, creating a seamless blend of audio and video.

To enhance the visual storytelling, I incorporated hand-drawn scribble animations. These playful and dynamic elements added a layer of texture and whimsy, capturing the essence of the lo-fi genre.
