Experiencing Interruptions?

Feather In The Wind

Feather in the Wind is an animated music video about a girl battling her anxiety. She is perched on a fence, plucks blades of grass, and twirls them around her finger. In a bout of adrenaline, she experiences escapism as she thrusts her spirit into the sky, and fantasizes a freedom without anxiety.

Director Statement

I deal with generalized anxiety, so I wanted to make an animated video personifying that, and to represent my 3rd independent music album, Electric Armchair's Living Ghosts.
It was therapeutic to animate anxiety in a more tangible way and to give positive insight on an otherwise negative state of mind.
Though I worked on writing, recording and producing the music album for months, It took me about four days to animate the video.
Feather in the Wind was one of the first songs I wrote when I started to teach myself guitar, so it was really magical to see the character, scenes, and message come to life.
