Urban Sprawl is an animated music video I’ve been working on and off for over a year. It’s inspired by bootleg fighting games and old arcades, it’s also a way for me to teach myself frame by frame animation and add material to my concept art portfolio.

Set in a derelict town, in a fictional country forgotten by the rest of the world, its plot begins as a young man enters the local arcade bar with a single objective in mind: beat the ultimate button-masher, Urban Sprawl.
