Spit on a Stranger Lyric Video
This is a student project where we were tasked to make an animated lyric video that focused on typography and lettering.
With this project I wanted to capture the bittersweet nature of the lyrics, while playing up the energetic tone and quality of the music. The lemon motif is both a reference to their bitter taste, but also the “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade saying.”
I interpreted the persona singing the song to be the kind of person to push their luck with the person they fancy and growing bitter and vindictive as their advances go unappreciated. So while I express their interactions playfully, I made sure the recipient grew visibly more frustrated as the song continues.
