Directed for Claud’s single "Guard Down," this animated music video is a whimsical, character-driven journey through a summer afternoon daydream.

​

To match Claud’s signature bedroom-pop aesthetic, we developed a highly stylized, warm visual palette that transitions fluidly between domestic reality and surreal, imaginative landscapes. Leading a tight, collaborative pipeline, I directed the overall visual narrative while hands-on animating and coloring alongside my team—prioritizing fluid 2D transitions, intimate character acting, and evocative color theory to bring the track's emotional vulnerability to life.
