"Where Is The Light" Official Music Video. 
> Music by Extra Time [ www.extratime.band ]

The song draws inspiration from the Japanese phenomenon known as "Hikikomori," a term used to describe the intense social withdrawal experienced by individuals. As the music unfolds, it delves into the complexities of this isolating phenomenon, weaving a narrative that explores the emotional nuances and challenges faced by those who grapple with profound societal detachment.

PRE-PRODUCTION
The project's main challenge was to create an engaging visual interpretation of the song within budget constraints. The band's creative freedom was crucial, making the entire process exceptionally smooth.

I kicked off by brainstorming ideas on a mind map, focusing on researching the hikikomori phenomenon to generate creative concepts.
