Hopscotch is singer-songwriter Mars Mignon's breakout music video exploring confronting the illusions of childish love and breaking free by facing yourself head-on to embrace inner power. ​
 
Set in a nostalgic, device-free outdoor world, MARShins—enigmatic beings representing aspects of the alter ego—become allies, not adversaries, in this transformative journey. ​
 
In conceptualizing the "Hopscotch" music video with Mars, our shared vision was to find beauty in apparent deterioration. The video is crafted to evoke a sense of homegrown authenticity, coupled with playfulness and humor—qualities that Mars has consistently shared with his 1.5M TikTok followers.
 
The making of the video involved a collaborative effort with our North Carolina-based cast and crew. I worked closely with the creative team to weave together Mars's creative insights about the meaning of the song lyrics with the visual concept. The goal was to craft a visually compelling narrative that captures the essence of self-discovery and empowerment within the context of a whimsical, yet grounded, storyline.
