Canvas Project
What is Spotify Canvas?
Canvas is an 8-second visual loop that shows in a vertical format to fill the screen. It appears in the Now Playing View instead of your album artwork. You can add a Canvas to any track, including upcoming releases.
It allows you, the artist, to upload three-to-eight-second looping visuals for each of your tracks as a proven way to draw in fans and keep them engaged. The data speaks for itself: Listeners are more likely to add a track to their playlists if they see the Canvas.

For this videoproject, I made one animation in Adobe After Effects, and I filmed a video with my own gear and edited it afterwards in Adobe Premiere Pro. Both with an underlying thought or meaning in mind, which I'm going to explainin next.
The Project
Impossible
by Nothing But Thieves
Genius.com: "The speaker is comparing the depth of their love and infatuation for the other person to being completely engulfed in water. The song uses water as a metaphor for a person, and the speaker expresses their desire to “dive deep” into the other person and never return. This mirrors falling completely and totally in love with someone."
Creep by Radiohead
This video was inspired by 'Memento mori'.
"Memento mori can prompt you to take action, and to avoid needlessly wasting the precious time that you have. Memento mori can help you put your problems in perspective and it can help you cherish every moment in life and feel gratitude towards what you have"
