jesca hoop!

have you heard of jesca hoop yet?  she's lovely!  back in august, kcrw put her album up on their album preview page.  i listened to it over and over as i worked on all our wedding decorations.  i let her gorgeous voice soothe my pre-wedding stress.  then about a month ago, kcrw had jesca do a live performance on morning eclectic.  she sounded just as wonderful in person as on her album {the sign of a true musician in my book}.

so you can imagine my excitement when we got a call from one of our favorite friends here in LA, inviting us to help him make a music video for her.  over the past week we've been taking trips to my friend's adorable house to help.  there were only a few people working to create the gorgeous set {led by my mister} and capture the stop-motion filming, all of whom are so incredibly talented!  

here's a little sneak peek:

i'm so proud of them!!  it's going to be very cool, and i will definitely share the video with you all when it's finished.  the video is for a new song that will be on her soon-to-be released ep.  in the meantime, i put together a few of my favorites from her most recent album, just so you can see what lovely music she makes.

also, stop-motion animation is super tough stuff! i have a great deal more respect for artists who do this form of story-telling.  wow!  if you know anyone who does this, give them a hug or a high five next time you see them.
