I Chose the song ‘Headz gone West’ by Nia Archives. The lyrics are short and succinct yet paint a great picture of a restless headspace. I wanted to embrace that with my music video.

I will start the process by finding the assets I’ll need. At first I had the idea to model some myself, I then however realised that it would be a bit too ambitious to do so.
Model I need:
Tube station, tube train, tube tunnel, woman, mouth, buildings, grass terrain.
The main problem I had is finding a good black woman model, it seemed like I exhausted all measures to find one. I eventually went to ‘Makehuman’ to make my own 3D character model but it didn’t seem right. Just as I had begun to think my efforts were in vain I remembered the existence of ‘Mixamo’. I found a great model on there which I will use in my music video.
After showing my storyboard to the class and tutors I was happy with the feedback I got; the main words of guidance being that I need to be careful when it comes to the speed of the camera movement, as if it’s any quicker than what the view can bear, it will initiate the onset of motion sickness – something I myself struggle with. Therefore while setting the speed of the camera I will remain sensitive to the pace I think myself and others will be able to handle.
