The music video for Love That Never was for the first single release of the album Oasis Nocturno, by Grammy nominated artist, TOKiMONSTA. I worked alongside the team, at the production company Babekuhl, and directed and animated a section of the music video (2:26-3:07). Along with my contributions to the music video, I was also the editor of the official behind-the-scenes video which accompanied the music video’s release.

TOKiMONSTA’s team was drawn to the idea of a central female protagonist who wanders through surreal and dreamlike sequences to chase self-discovery. I designed the environment featured below, animated the character, the floating shapes, developed the colour palette, and composited the shots. My creative contributions were also made in finalising shot sequences in the master edit of the music video.
