I am looking for someone to help me create an 8 bit music video for an original song. The project is a passion project of my friends and I, "Squid Biologist". Squid Biologist is a band about a group of squids squidding through the sea. They meet many characters such as The Frizz, Spermy the sperm whale (squids' worst enemy), and the god like figure Steve O' Shea, a real life squid biologist that spreads the good word of squids, but also captures and dissects them for knowledge.
The song I want animated is called "Kavorka" and can be heard here in its original form, [login to view URL] The lyrics tell a story about a character named "The Frizz", a squidette with very frizzy hair that all the squids have an attraction to because she has "The Kavorka", or the lure of the animal (think the Seinfeld episode).
Anyways I made an 8 bit version of the song that I imagine a very fun and simple 8 bit animated music video to go along with it. I imagine the video following the story the lyrics tell, with simple animations of a squad of 4 squids undulating around, dancing, and seeing the Frizz and her frizzy hair, maybe passing by Spermy the sperm whale or Steve O Shea somewhere in there. The squids represent us, the band members, and I imagine most of the video being the squids "walking" around, dancing, and singing. What I really want though is for someone to have fun with it. This is a ridiculous project, we only sing about a group of squids and their adventures, it is meant to spread fun. I really hope to find someone that wants to have some fun creating a true original video. I can send the 8 bit version of the song once we connect. I gotta squidaddle, thanks.
I can create 8-bit squid characters with looping animations and pixel-art backgrounds. Looks like a fun project!
