Perhaps this is a call to other aspiring artists, who’ve been ‘bit by the bug’, to persist on the rocky path of creation. Read on to watch the making of, which is a pretty awesome music video in its own right.

A master of warm minimalism, Sean Pecknold delivers another graphically gorgeous and irresistably clever piece (commissioned by Dragonframe to celebrate the release of Dragonframe 3). A great piece of avant garde lighting, animation and of course…advanced rice dynamics.
