After finding out that the band was made up of three singers from France (Martinique), Cameroon, and the Republic of Congo, I was inspired to research African textiles, particularly Kuba cloth, which originates from the Republic of Congo. The overall feel of the film will be dreamy, surreal, and visually exciting to watch. Reflecting the lyrics, it’s a love story but told in a very innocent, playful way, of two people exploring this animated world together.
I intend to take a non-linear approach to this project, because I believe that some of the most exciting animation and visuals can come about from working intuitively, in a ‘thinking through making’ process.
