The body is an evolving system, built of parts subsumed
from their surrounds.
VALERIE is an animated typographic music video exploring
the themes of body dysmorphia and the changing perception
of self through a gender non-conforming lens. It tackles
these ideas through the interpretation of the body as a
clinical vessel, a shifting and changable program
characterised by my thought and experiences of self
identity expressed in violent, abrasive type and image.
Made with Adobe Indesign, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape,
After Effects and Resolve FX.
Music by Letl.
Each screen was create initially as layouts in Indesign, with modular parts animated in After Effects and composited in Resolve FX as layers.
Additional CD cover art was created in accordance with the themes and writings of the music video.
