Animator Bona Bones, who has graced the pages of the Valley News and UV INDEX a number of times, did the animation work for the music video for “Over The Moon,” a single by the Los Angeles-based psychedelic soul band The Marías.
This is the same video that Valley News features writer David Corriveau let you know about last month, before it was released. It’s been on YouTube since last Friday and already has more than 40,000 views!
And, jussayin, four of them in the last 12 minutes are from me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Check out these videos posted on Instagram the other day by Bona Bones:
You might recall that we wrote about Bona way back in February when she was fundraising for this project. The final product is expected to clock in at 8 minutes — and at one hour of animating per one second of animation, it’s a long process!
Bona, a friend of mine, has also appeared here on these digital pages a few times. Follow her progress on Instagram @bonadona.
“It takes one hour of animating to get one second of animation,” Bones said. “I’m sure there’ll be a lot of sleepless nights ahead.”
Well, it’s moving right along. Check out some of her progress in her IG posts above, and check out a preview she made of the film for her (now funded) Kickstarter below.
