i was approached over a year ago to help work on a music video project for the band Battle Tapes (battletapesband.com/), it was originally intended to be made in Source Filmmaker but in my hubris i scope-crept the entire production to have it done in Blender instead and offered to both create 3D models for the characters and animate a huge chunk of the video, this is that chunk of the video (the lighting and effects are not mine i just did the character animation)

i will speak nothing about the production of the music video apart from a thorough introspection of my own contributions:
My animation skills a year ago - WACK
My 3D modeling skills a year ago - WACK
My material and texture creation skills a year ago - WACK
My ability to create comprehensive face and body rigs a year ago - WACK
My ability to animate characters manipulating musical instruments a year ago - WACK

My good friend Kinglet (twitter.com/KlNGLET) created the designs for the GIRLS and my good friend Stewfat (twitter.com/frank_stewfat) managed asset production and VFX and also literally everything else

and with all that said i must now book an appointment with a chiropractor for the back pain i incurred carrying this music video
