Break Me Free
In "Break Me Free" funky clay figures bust a move against digitally painted backgrounds. The audio track's groovy bass lines, crisp horns, and cozy alto vocals inspire an unrestrained dance party that includes scantily clad girl demons, surreal landscapes, and cryptic cartoons. The energy builds and the dancing becomes more and more dynamic. The final result is an explosion of movement, techniques, and visual styles. The film is a collaborative effort of five different artists.
