About

East Meets West (Coast)

Anthony Scott (Coraline, Corpse Bride, Paranorman) and K Ishibashi (Kishi Bashi) had always talked about making a stop motion music video together. Anthony being between movies and K being between tours (and Mocha being married to K), they embarked on a ambitious bi-coastal production. Using Mocha's vivid illustrations and off-kilter storytelling ability, they created an organic and surreal world. Although originally intended for the song "People of the Mountain, People of the Ocean", an acoustic Jupiter One song (K and Mocha's old band), the film found it's home around the song "I Am the Antichrist to You", a haunting song about love off of Kishi Bashi's debut album, 151a.
