Watch in HD. AND WITH CAPTIONS! The lyrics play an important part in the story here. 

Brief notes: 

Much more of a narrative piece compared to my previous effort, with much of the "story" coming from the incredible lyrics of the song (which again, I highly recommend you guys read). I experimented further with After Effects here, now incorporating Photoshop files, puppet tools, and animation expressions. The end result has met most of my expectations (although I wish I could actually draw and animate worth a damn). 

Anyways, hope y'all enjoy the PMV. I'll be on the lookout for any great pieces of music to use in the future :)   

Song:
"The Rifle's Spiral" by The Shins 
From their 2012 album, "Port of Morrow"
