Thanks for the complement Owen! Yes, I was very fortunate to find the music that I did. It took a while to find just the right tone and pace for the main piano track and finding the trumpet and strings that worked seamlessly with the piano was near magic. When I first laid the trumpet over the piano track, I couldn't believe that the trumpet wasn't written for that music at all, but it fit so beautifully!
The bulk of the animation was created from individual stills that I shot of star shaped ice "cubes", then I used key frames in Premiere to make them all move.
Finding the animated gold stars that appear in the glass of purple water at the end was the icing on the cake!
