Drunk Puppet is a motion graphic and sound design project inspired by the song "Broken Bones" by Kaleo. The project tells the story of a drunken puppet, a character that came to life in my imagination upon first hearing the song.
This piece was individually crafted using Adobe After Effects for the visual elements and Pro Tools for the sound design.
Inspired by the rhythm and content of the music, I documented the entire process of designing this character. Once created, he learned to walk, gradually picking up speed, but remained alone. He tried to invite others to join him, but no one responded. Left by himself, he drank a bottle of wine, got drunk, and swayed unsteadily. Then, the character split into two, and they began walking, dancing, and interacting together. This performance draws inspiration from Disney's 1929 "The Skeleton Dance." In the end, the puppet becomes two characters, no longer alone.
