A spell Written by Jack Colwell
Produced by Sarah Blasko
Animation: Todd Fuller
Narrative story by Jack Colwell and Todd Fuller

'A spell' is a music video for Colwell’s debut album 'SWANDREAM' and Fuller's second hand-drawn music video. Jack Colwell has been described by Rolling Stone Australia as “one of Australia's most innovative emerging artists”. The album was produced by Sarah Blasko, with Sarah lending her backing vocals to ‘A spell’. The animation was drawn in response to Colwell's lyrics and depicts the musician in a moment of darkness.

Created as Sydney descended into COVID-19 lock down, Fuller spent a weekend isolating in the studio drawing, erasing, photographing - teasing the animation into being. Unable to return to his studio since then, like many artists Fuller has been animating and drawing from his bedroom floor, opting to stay home to help flatten the curve against COVID-19.

“Drawing 1,600 stills in two days was a personal record but the time went very quickly” says Fuller.

“The task felt urgent because Jack's message is so important right now. Hold on.”
