Praful – Wishful Walk
Animation music video by WeLoveUs Productions

Initiated by Praful’s associated US-label Rendezvous Music, Norwegian visual artist & designer Vimal G. Gabrielsen and Praful himself set out together in 2006 to create an animation movie for Praful’s song Wishful Walk. It was their first full video clip project and as such a huge adventure. Together, they dived deeply into the world of animation, where the only limit was their fantasy – well, not quite, as their animation skills were also just developing. But that did not hold them back, they rather trusted that their creativity would find ways to express and that they would acquire the technical skills they needed as they went along.

Conception, artwork and direction were in the hands of Vimal G. gabrielsen is an artist and designer with a cum laude degree in arts, interior architecture and furniture design from the Royal College of Arts in Oslo, Norway. She has worked in various art-related fields: next to her video activities, she paints, designed and made light installations and theater costumes & stages, worked as an architect, designed CD covers, worked in the design department of a mannequin factory, illustrated children's books and led intuitive painting workshops.

Praful, accustomed to Computer-based audio production work, had to understand, realize and visualise Vimal’s ideas as he did most of the cyber work, animating, editing, compositing etc.
They were both surprised what a tremendous amount of work it was, and Praful had to almost set aside his musical career for the 3 months they worked on this project. But it turned out to be great fun and a learning experience.

At first the clip was made to fit the original version of the song, released on 'Pyramid in your Backyard'. Later the song was remixed/reworked by Kareem Raihani for the Remixed+2 album and the clip was made to fit both versions now. The other version can be seen on www.youtube.com/weloveusProductions
