Tarot - Animated Music Video - Break the Spell

A short animated music video created using images from the classic Rider Waite Tarot deck, animated and brought to life using Adobe Aftereffects, to part of the song "Break the Spell" by Ellis. My attempt was to incorporate the images, their movements and the song together so that they all supplemented one another.

This animation belongs to Genevieve Alberti, and by all means share it, but please don't try to profit on it. The music belongs to Ellis Delaney, and the images are from the Rider Waite deck and don't belong to anyone (despite US Games' claims). I am not attempting to profit from this video.

@TheMidnightdawn00 Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! After getting such wonderfully positive reactions about this video I am planning to create more, but it might be a while - projects like this take lots and lots of work. If I could only just drop everything else for a few weeks and crank out another one of these, I would love nothing better, but sadly that's not really a feasible option. Still, every little bit of motivating encouragement helps!

I loved it! I think it is brilliant! I would love to see more of of these. Thank you for taking the time to do it! :)

@Teheuti Thank you!! I'm incredibly glad to hear that my use of the images from the cards was noticed - I wanted it all to have a sort of narrative, but I didn't know if that would come through clearly or not.

@CA95814 Thanks so much! I definitely want to continue making animations such as this, but sadly I'm not going to get the opportunity to for a while, since these sort of projects require lots of extra time and energy, and at the moment life affords me little of either. Encouragement is a great energy booster, though!

Beautifully done! would love to see more of these... and the beat goes on.

Wonderful use of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot and excellent choices to go with the lyrics. I really enjoyed this.
