3. Persistent Peril: ‘Fight For Everyone’ - The Leisure Society | Animated Music Promo

A hand creates life on a little bluey-greeny planet, only things don’t quite go as planned. Miniature animated destruction ensues in our music promo for the track Fight For Everyone. A ‘god like’ hand uses touch screen gestures, pinches and swipes to create a world. Utilising a bold, colourful and playful illustrative style, along with a mischievous sense of humour, the narrative unfolds as things don’t go according to plan.
