This is a ‘music video’ we made during our time at uni.
I was assistant director, photographer, I did a lot of production work and also parts of the editing and animation.

Story
A stressed business man sits behind his desk in the late hours of the day, still trying to finish his work. Work keeps piling up and nothing seems to go right. Then we see a surrealistic environment which represents his inner stress. It’s a mess! The objects that attack him represent the massive workload that keeps coming his way. It’s a suffocating feeling… he’s stressed out yet the work keeps piling up. He eventually realises that he has to break free from all this stress before it gets out of hand. He ‘wakes up’ and decides to take a vacation to get his mind straight.
