Q: does the process of animating the music video change the song itself or do you only start animating once the song is complete and simply animate around the music?
A: i usually have a rule to completely finish the audio before doing a song's video. But it doesn't have to be that way. the 'la de da' video, 'day goes on', and some others, had their video done mostly over a half baked recording of the song. i've noticed it always takes longer this way
