A music video produced in collaboration with the Montreal-based jazz group THE FÉLIX DUBÉ TRIO, in promotion of their album Impermanence. The track was chosen for its cinematic / dramatic qualities, the video's plot itself loosely adapting the "Jonah and the Whale" story.
Visually, the client had wished to hue closer to an early 2000's / Cartoon Network aesthetic, so we landed on a line-less approach reminiscent of Samurai Jack.
