Music video for OGRE YOU ASSHOLE’s “More Like You Than You Yourself.” As the title suggests, since the song was about oneself and a person very similar to oneself—perhaps not a mere look-alike, but an existence created by technology such as a robot, AI, or clone—the idea began with wondering whether it would be interesting to make a video in which two different looks are going back and forth. While symbolically treating hand-drawn scenes created with pen on paper and scenes that have been reduced in resolution and pixelated, the two textures gradually blend together and follow a path toward becoming particles in the end.
The basic approach is simple hand-drawn animation, with everything drawn on paper with a pen. To create a live-action-like quality of movement rather than a cartoonish one, many scenes were first animated in 3DCG and then rotoscoped by hand.
