MUMBAI: Rising Swedish pop act shy martin has revealed the brand-new animated video for her new single “late night thoughts”. The video was created as a collaboration between shy, her brother Hampus Hjellstrom and Italian animator Pietro (@supreme4stupid). Fans can watch the video here.
Speaking about the making of the new video, shy says, “Me and my brother Hampus created the initial idea for the video over a phone call in April last year while I was in LA working. After I got home, we bought an iPad, learned Procreate and spent a few days drawing the whole storyboard. It took months finding the right person to make it come to life but I’m so happy we kept looking to finally stumble across Pietro (@supreme4stupid), a young animator from Italy. It’s been such an amazing time creating this one together! The video is weaving together the upcoming album ‘late night thoughts’ – connecting previous releases and teasing what’s to come.”
