About

A girl who turns into a ball – why? how? By the time we finished this wonderfully weird clip for Khruangbin, dreamed up by Hugo RodrĂ­guez RodrĂ­guez & Alvaro Sotomayor, none of us were asking anymore. We were all just little balls of happiness floating through time and space.

I led the most delightful motley crew you could imagine, each artist picking their weapon of choice – from C4D to Maya, Nuke to Krita, whatever felt right. It was a while-you-weren’t-working-on-a-higher-paid-job type deal. I handled the online edit, some compositing and even squeezed in some C4D work and end titles. Definitely my favourite project at Glassworks, hands down.
