We were tasked with designing and animating a music video for David Handler’s title track off his debut album. It was an experimental piece that allowed us to explore different ways of working visually we often don't get to explore in our commercial work.

“Life Like Violence ca. 2003, or : Untitled Caprice, the debut single from composer David Handler, is an audio collage about betrayal. An earnest, heart-on-sleeve avowal in the form of a rehearsed voicemail is scorned and scraped by the sound of sex and its beguiling late 19th-century Spanish guitar accompaniment. The imaginary, one-sided conversation obsessively layers the message version on top of version, as Handler puts it:

‘…juxtaposing love and lust; one so broken, the other so satisfied.’ ”
