Winner of Best Music Video at the 2025 Carolina Film Festival and Bronze Medal at the Global Music Awards. This music video for Lunavox's "What's Locked Behind That Door?" merges archival footage aesthetics with modern animation techniques, exploring themes of human emotion and institutional corruption through metaphorical doors. The project combines 2D/3D animation, motion graphics, and AI-assisted imagery, using advanced compositing and rotoscoping to create a cinematic visual experience that honors retro cult cinema while pushing contemporary storytelling boundaries.

If you are feeling adventurous and would like to avoid days of rotoscoping, try out MatAnyone. Its not perfect, but it does reduce rotoscope time.
Woo hoo!
