“You and Me on the Rock,” a track from Brandi Carlile’s album “In These Silent Days,” is a visual allegory in just the lyrics alone. Filled with nature references and odes to the joys of the simple life, it’s a rejection of modern day McMansion flashiness. It’s also an homage to Joni Mitchell, so for our video we took a little inspiration from Joni’s painted album covers and “back to the garden” era aesthetics, and illustrated Brandi’s lyrics in hand-collaged, hand-painted stop-motion animation.
