An Animation for Donald Johnson’s song Pain. I made over 2,000 individual images iin Photoshop in an attempt to make something like a handmade digital animation. I call the characters cogs. They aren’t cats and they aren’t dogs and they aren’t people. They are part of a narrative machine.

Song written and sung by Donald Johnson
Music arranged, played, and produced by Javier Hernandez-Miyares
Art and Animation by Alex Itin

You can watch the giffed out progress of making this video on my blog, ITinplace, starting back in April:
