Stevie Gee & Essy May Unbox More Amazon Music

Blinkink directing duo Stevie Gee & Essy May are back with another animated mashup for Amazon Music in this merry merger of miniatures, 2D animation, and stop motion thru Droga5 London.

Stevie Gee & Essy May: “We loved every moment of this job, it was technically one of the most challenging things we have worked on, utilizing a whole bunch of techniques in each scene, but this is how we have fun.

“Droga5 and Amazon wanted a concept to visualize ‘hip hop rotation’ so we pitched the idea of one guy riding through ever-changing backdrops. In 15 seconds there wasn’t really that many he could ride through, but we packed in as much animation as we could.”
