Thousands of coloured pencils became both medium and set in this handcrafted stop-motion music video for Hudson & Troop's Against the Grain. Over two months, nearly 1,000 pencils were painstakingly rearranged across 5,125 individual frames to create an evolving animated landscape. The video struck a chord with audiences worldwide, amassing more than 1.5 million views and establishing the tactile, handcrafted approach that continues to define Dropbear's work today.
