Description:
Jay Z’s conversational gestures create a stream of intricate animations that bring his ideas to life and illustrate how a computer can be among the most personal of our possessions.
A single take of choreographed hand gestures were combined with intricate design, animations, and CG to show how a notebook computer reflects its owner’s personality and interests. Every element and action was carefully planned, designed, and animated to match the hand movement.
