More at alepixel.tv & behance.net/gallery/21854313/Hug-it-Out Our good friends at DemoDuck asked us to make a video about the health benefits of hugging. So we proposed writing a catchy song and telling the story through a set of fun characters: a depressed clown, a stressed out worker, and a very distracted teen.

Their wish is granted and their dreams seem to be fulfilled... until the reality sinks in that being a human isn't all it's cracked up to be. CREDITS Band- ...
