“PAPER BOATS”
Artist(s): Chirag Todi, Gouri Ranjit, Aksha Kini
Dir. Tushar Kejriwal
Producer : Tushar Kejriwal
Brief
A gentle music video for the song ‘Paper Boats’, written during lockdown, while Gouri and Aksha were learning to enjoy the little things, like making paper boats at home.
Our Take
We went on YouTube and found an old ‘How to Make a Paper Boat’ tutorial from 2010. Then we muted it and played the piece of music over it. And just like that, the idea here was born. Our music video is essentially a follow along, ‘how to’ video without explicit written instructions, shot in the style of an early YouTuber. But where it stops being an amateur tutorial and a purposeful music video is in the addition of gentle visual effects that ebb and flow over a blue chart paper, much like the waves of the sea imagined by the creator of these boats during Lockdown, in hope for experiencing joy and freedom once again.
