"Salt" Frame-by-frame Animation
2D Animation · Digital Art · Video Editing
Using the simple animation tools in Procreate, I created a short music video set to the song "Salt" by Alex G. The somber, repetitive melody lent itself well to looping animations, which I played forward and in reverse to mirror the cyclical quality of the song. The lyrics, with interpretations ranging from dissociation and depression to trauma or substance use, inspired me to keep the visuals intentionally ambiguous. This approach allows each viewer to find their own meaning in the video, reflecting the song’s emotional complexity.

"Salt" Experimental Animation

I created a short animation to the song "Salt" by Alex G using simple watercolor paintings that I photographed over time. This project was an experiment in exploring how watercolor could be used in animation. In this case, how the medium evolves as layers are added and colors deepen. I then composited the images in Adobe Premiere.
