Cory Wong “Bluebird” Official Animated Music Video
Cory Wong "Bluebird" (feat. Chris Thile) Official Animated Music Video
This is a collaboration between Cory Wong (musician, guitarist, producer) and Studio Kolam Susu, an Indonesian storytelling studio. In this collaboration, we had the opportunity to create an animated music video consisting of various techniques (motion graphic, frame by frame animation, and 3D animation) and art styles (one of them is pixel art).
The music video became a semi-finalist in Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival 2022, and pre-selected for Best Animated Music Video in Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film 2022.
The Starting Line
The collaboration started through a simple DM. We were given creative liberty and wanted to show bits of Cory Wong’s life through this music video.
Initial Concept Art
There was an abundant amount of concept art because everyone in the studio is allowed to join in, chipping in ideas! Then we pick the ideas to be developed further.

Storyboarding Process
The storyboard changed 3 times during the process, it was actually a necessary process for us to get into the ideas that we wanted.
