For The Silent Years' new album "The Globe," the band invited other young talent to collaborate on their vision, combining sonic and visual art to create one fully realized representation of the band's concept for The Globe. "I chose this story because I wanted to do a narrative that people could relate to. I was inspired by a difficult time in my life and wanted a chance to get away and go somewhere else. Based on this idea, I wanted to show two people struggling in their environments and having someone take them away from their problems. A lot of challenges came up during the process. Time was definitely an issue because I had a full time job while working on the video at the same time. Finding the time to work on the video was challenging. As always, I had technical problems. I had issues trying to figure out how certain things should be animated and how to illustrate the backgrounds but over time I figured out a way to get over them. My parents were also getting divorced so trying to do this during a rough time in my life was hard to handle. Despite all these difficult obstacles, I was able to finish the project. I went to The Rhode Island School of Design." by Ian Topple menos

NYU animation student Catherine Tai to create a music video for "The Sun is Alive." "When I first listened to the song - The Sun is Alive, I thought the song should be bright blue in color. I think a lot of people have that but when I look at the sky, I can see a lot of black dots floating in the air, like some bugs. They seems have a life and tend to form some picture in my eye. This song inspired me to tell a story about a little boy having illusions with those dots. Also, the music is very fresh and chill. It's amazing that this feeling didn't change even I have been listening for hundred times throughout the video making process,I hand drawn those characters like what I used to see in cartoons when I was small and hope to keep that freshness through images." by Catherine Tai menos
