9. Kitten’s Cathedral Lyric Video
I embedded numerous live concert photographs of Kitten’s lead singer, Chloe Chaidez, in stained glass frames. The original stained glass frame was gleaned from Shutterstock and I edited the colors of the frame in Illustrator to use in various scenarios throughout the video. Some of the photos were black and white and I colored them in Photoshop e.g. the photo of Chloe in the title card. For the saxophone musical interlude, I utilised a 2.5 D parallax effect where the photos were converted to 3D and animated with a camera zooming in on them. All onscreen lyrics and animations were created in After Effects. More on this video at this link https://aijalonfilms.wordpress.com/2016/04/04/kittens-cathedral-lyric-video/ .

10. Allie X’s Bitch Lyric Video

Undercutting sexism, I employed sexist vintage ads framed in Illustrator, to produce a lyric video for pop singer, Allie X. I blended Allie X’s face into the male and female figures and placed her signature glasses on some of them in the various ads using Photoshop. At the end of the video, I broke out of the employ of the vintage frame and colorful background and just enlarged the ads with the blended faces. The text was also enlarged and placed over these ads. Onscreen lyrics and transitions were composed in After Effects. More on this video at this link https://aijalonfilms.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/allie-x-bitch-lyric-video/.
