BARRICADES is a song by Hiroyuki Sawano, a Japanese composer known for his epic and powerful soundtrack work. The song itself about breaking inner boundaries and rules to reach a place beyond inner walls. The tune itself has an upliftingenergetic feeling to it. If you watch closely you can even find a cat. Can you spot it in the fast action?
Initial Storyboard of the entire sequence.
First test styleframe to set the target for the entire animation.
First initial drafts of the character and some frames to explain the visual idea.
By feeding Stable Diffusion an input sketch I was able to generate all the backgrounds needed for this animation.
