Here's a video that I directed and Produced in 2006 for Aerial. Essentially no budget, just enough to shoot for one day on HD on greenscreen. The song was very sweet, so I thought it would be nice to try and make a more pining story, based on having read about light house keepers and how they had to keep priming and winding the lamps. Also influenced by films such as Eye of the Needle.
This was shot with a Panasonic Varicam, using a reflective floor, composited in After Effects.
I think I got a bit tight on the pacing near the end, and lost some of the drama, and generally it was "learn as you go" animation
