As promised, here is the music video Gianluca and I worked on a few months ago for our friend Massimo Giangrande's single, Paper Plane. Italian Rolling Stone magazine published it a few days ago, but this here is the high res version, in much better quality. To be enjoyed big, and with decent speakers, if possible.
It was a significant song for me to work on. Massimo had composed it a few years ago and played it (in a more folksy and upbeat rough version) at dinner one night, without any definite lyrics, kindof fooling around. I had made a little video of him and one day, listening to the tune again, I thought up some lyrics to go with it. Massimo ended up liking them and the song became part of the album.
A few months after the album came out we decided to do a music video for the song. We had free rein, and I had no idea where to start! Luckily Gianluca, who has the great ideas, thought of using old Eli as the main character of a story inspired by, but not reflective of, the lyrics. He thought it would've been too 'obvious' to animate a she-character on a paper plane for this song, so he thought up this wonderful little adventure with rabbit, turtle and bear as musical sidekicks. He directed and animated the whole thing. I merely worked on the illustrated paper cutouts. It took about two months to make.
Hope you like it!
