Description:
Bonsaininja Studio wrote, directed, and produced this music video for the Italian musician and producer AntiAnti, featuring the rapper Caparezza.
“Picciotti Della Benavita” is a story about politics, Mafia, bribed authorities, vintage Italian cars, and pin-striped suits.
Live-action shooting, motion-graphics effects, 3D animations, matte-painting techniques, and a lot of irony were used to depict decades of genuine Italian corruption and immorality in this action-packed gangster music video.
