With “love,” a feeling familiar to teenagers as romantic affection, as the starting point, the protagonist shares empathy and experiences with friends. The protagonist’s everyday reality, and the chain of gratitude and emotions (small acts of “love”) that arise from being encouraged by friends, unfold in a poetic inner world. The desire to cherish someone or something is supported and nurtured by friends, eventually blossoming into something real and helping them overcome worries and hardships. In the end, they share music with their friends in a choral style, connecting with one another. This animation expresses a story that goes beyond romance, culminating in a larger “love” as affection toward friends, family, and other close ones.

Music video for PEAVIS’s song “Colorful.” It depicts two paint colors journeying out into the world and layering color onto it.

Because the sound carries a somewhat nostalgic feel, I aimed for visuals that evoke the spirit of the ’90s. I focused on pen strokes and the depiction of light bleeding into the image, emphasizing a pleasant indie vibe that doesn’t feel too cheap, one that resonates when viewed by adults looking back.
