With my first motion graphics piece, I tried to give 30,000 concert-goers a deeper look into the music they came to listen and dance to.

The message: JazzReggae isn’t just music, it’s always been more - it’s the melding of cultures, the triumph over struggle, and the voice of social justice.

No four minute video can give this topic what it deserves, but I’m happy as long as viewers walk away with at least a slightly greater appreciation for the music they love - Jazz and Reggae.

Great storytelling and music

Wow wow wow, what a great piece.

I loved the different voices, played off against the moving text on the screen. I loved the storytelling and the music. What a great expansion of meaning -- to see how the music lives in such a rich historical context.

Almost like a mini documentary, in hindsight. Awesome!

Love the vibe

The music and narrative are mixed good enough to stand on it's own as a radio ad, but the visuals just take it to the next level.

Excellent choice of imagery, colours and motion. I love music and this made me love it just a bit more! Especially with a lot of canned pop garbage you hear today. It's important to tip your hat to the classics.

Awesome piece.
