the basement tapes

For the release of the album The New Basement Tapes, we created a teaser animation commissioned by Universal Music Germany. The film combines animated splashes of color with rotoscoped figures, creating a playful visual look that introduces the music of the album.

The New Basement Tapes is a British-American supergroup consisting of Jim James, Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Taylor Goldsmith, and Rhiannon Giddens. The group is best known for their 2014 album Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, featuring tracks based on previously unpublished lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967 during the sessions for The Basement Tapes.
