Since the song is a bit slower and the shots are generally a bit simpler, I tried to put more emphasis on the acting and was really intentional with it in the boards. I really wanted to be able to communicate Angel's movements to the animators in a really clear way.

Seeing Husk react to Angel was so important to me lol. I love these boys. I pulled a lot from Eddie Valiant in terms of how Husk reacts. Just kind of stunned and flabberghasted lol. Also Angel's chest coming direct into camera from that shot of Husk staring was very intentional framing hahah

Something I wanted to accomplish was to have Angel travel fully around the room. From the piano, to the stage, onto both sides of the floor, & then back up to the stage. What was great about this sequence was that I had a blender background to work with!! It made figuring this all out a lot easier.

Something I really liked about this song was that it was a lot slower and more sensual. I felt good being able to hang on shots for longer and really let Angel mug to the camera.

The main direction I was given for this, of course, was to take inspiration from Jessica Rabbit's intro song sequence from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Also I was told Angel needs to be mean to the patrons hahah. BUT, he's nice to the piano player, because you always gotta be nice to the piano player.

And lastly, honestly, I just love this shot haha. I think it's my favorite one in the song and I have SO much love for all of the other departments for NAILING the look I was going for here. Sparkly, soft, ethereal. It's great stuff!!
