In 2018, I edited this cyber-punk-influenced music video directed by Mumbai-based studio Plexus’ Vijesh Rajan, for a track off The Local Train’s new album Vaaqif.

Featuring a combination of miniatures and classical stop-motion to 3D modelling and compositing, the video tells the story of a dictatorial regime in a megacity which is invaded by an unlikely monster – and the ordinary citizen provoked into action to save the day.
