Thom Yorke - Last I Heard (He Was Circling the Drain...)

Created at Art Camp and co-directed by Saad Moosajee, this award-winning music video for Thom Yorke’s "Last I Heard (He Was Circling the Drain...)" is a dark, atmospheric masterpiece that garnered a D&AD Graphite Pencil and an ADC Gold Cube.

As a Cel Animator and Look Development Artist on the project for its full duration, I worked closely with the directors to establish the film's haunting, tactile visual signature. Our team engineered a hybrid pipeline that bridged physical and digital worlds: we hand-drew textured, analog cel animation directly over individual printed frames of 3D renders. This meticulous process injected an organic, breathing human warmth into the dark, simulated digital environments, creating an unforgettable, hauntingly beautiful final aesthetic.
