It’s been a while since I’ve created any videos or animations. My work is more focused on product design, but once in a while I like to work on “weekend” projects.

This one took me 4 weekends to finish. It started with a simple idea I had a couple of years ago. I didn’t know it would give me some much trouble. Animating each one of the 361 words that form this song was not an easy task.

Mathematics is a song released in 99 from Mos Def. It hit me when I first heard and it’s still one of my favorite tracks. The video represents the ideas behind the lyrics. My goal was to work only with text and an occasional icon to make it as simple as possible.

If you haven’t heard this song before visit your favorite media shop and buy it. The album is called “Black on Both Sides” and is definitely worth it.
