Nice video for Broken Bells by directors Kimberly Stuckwisch and Nelson de Castro (previously featured here). “Good Luck” tells the story of a young boy with the miraculous ability to see beams of light permeating from people who feel invisible — just like him. As de Castro explains:
“To achieve the light ray effect, we hand traced and laser-cut over 4000 frames to create shape mattes, then physically shined light and haze through each individual frame to produce the stop motion effect. By mixing old school animation with practical haze over live-action footage, we were able to create the eerily atmospheric new dimension you see embedded in each frame.”
