This is a pure passion project. Rubberband's "一早地下鐵" (The Morning Subway) is basically the permanent soundtrack to my morning commutes, so I finally decided to build a music video for it. No client brief—just me trying to capture that exact, slightly groggy but beautiful golden hour light hitting a Hong Kong MTR train car.

I decided to take the route of hand-drawn cel animation to get that organic, nostalgic film texture. Every single character movement and slice-of-life interaction was drawn frame-by-frame inside Procreate Dreams to keep things feeling raw and human. After that, I threw everything into After Effects for the heavy lifting: dialing in volumetric light leaks, soft lens blooms, and color grading until it felt like actual morning sunlight bleeding through the glass.

It was an awesome playground for testing a hybrid Procreate-to-AE pipeline, and honestly, just a giant visual love letter to Rubberband and the rhythmic hum of our city.
