Graphic artist Jimmy Turrell, visuals designer behind Beck's upcoming album Colors, approached us to make some animations to collage into his lyric video for "Dear Life." We took inspiration from his album artwork, incorporating bold geometric shapes in bright colors to be juxtaposed against cinematic scenes: sometimes dark, sometimes strange, sometimes cryptic. The result, like the song's lyrics, is a mashup of imagery and meaning. Rotoscoped ants and burning cars.
