Finally had a chance to do a thread about one of the more challenging shots I've ever animated for #vivomovie, but not for the reasons you'd expect. #animation #animtip

First song, One of A Kind...-LMM 1/??
Started writing One Of A Kind in 2009, and the dare to myself was simple: Start with the simplest rhythm in the world, and just keep building. Organ plays 2 chords, oompah oompah, and take off from there.

Vivo's first two lines were originally:
"Tough crowd, nothing I haven't seen before, I'll have to pull out the stops & give them even more-" which are now in the reprise.
I was also playing Usnavi 8 shows a week at the time, so this is semi-autobiographical... #VivoMusicDeepDive
