This is the night! The premiere of the new music video for my friend, performer and songwriter El Sobrino del Diablo: Menos mal que nos queda el Blues (At least we have the Blues). It is a Blues song, obviously, with the additional voice of another awesome musician: Perrocker. The production has been very time-consuming, combining different animation techniques: cgi, cut-out, stop motion, plasticine on glass... during 6 months. But the result is worth of. Enjoy!
