Shine is a story based upon a cyborg that is wired to the moon. His eyes emit a swirling radar attracting him to his planet of origin.

Only, upon the way to the mothership his path is blocked by all sorts of strange robots and mystical beasts.

Will he make it home?

Shine’s story is my own original story, which I successfully pitched to a musician after he originally asked me for a music video at his performance in a jazz bar in Bristol. He said about collaborating together for his new, electric guitar song ‘Shine’.

Ok, I will try not to be angry but generally PEOPLE DON’T VALUE ANIMATION, they don’t understand the time and energy it takes, OR, they think they don’t need to pay them for their trouble in the first place, OR WORST YET! ALL THREE.

The saddening thing is, HE IS AN ARTIST/MUSICIAN himself. He should know the struggle, he has a monetised Youtube with fans and followers, I didn’t even have a following on YouTube and he wants me to do it for love. NO!

BUT….

I did make something….

Take a look at the uncomissioned 100% abstract music video I made for that musician.

Note to self, next time don’t promise the world before the budget is clear.

Yes, it isn’t the amazing story I had thought up. However it is a free piece of video art which can be projected during a live show over the band. It would look phenomenal.
