This is my visual interpretation of the lyrics from TAEMIN’s song “Criminal.” Music is one of my favorite storytelling mediums, and I’ve always wanted to try blending the worlds of visual storytelling and music together myself! I find myself constantly inspired and motivated by watching music videos from my favorite artists, and I wanted to try creating a visual narrative to music. After analyzing the lyrics, I broke down elements that would directly support the words sung as the video played. From the chains to the red wine spilled on the floor symbolizing the woman in the red dress, I wanted this MV storyboard animatic to capture the essence of the torment he goes through—and the inevitable moment when he decides he’d rather be dragged into the depths with her than try to escape.
