A decade ago, Mac Miller released his sophomore album, Watching Movies With the Sound Off. The late rapper’s estate and his former label, Rostrum Records, have now digitally released an anniversary edition of the album, which includes an earlier version of opening song “The Star Room.” There’s also a new video for “The Star Room (OG Version),” which you can watch below.

Danae Gosset directed the new music video, featuring character design and animation by Sam Mason. “The video depicts the journey of an open-minded character as they navigate the world, discovering and evolving along the way,” Gosset explained in a statement. She coninued:

I had the privilege of collaborating with the incredibly talented Sam Mason [director of Miller’s “Colors and Shapes” video], who designed the characters for the video. The storyline begins and ends with a candid embryo-like character, showcasing their growth and transformation through diverse landscapes and encounters. My goal was to capture the essence of a transformative journey while maintaining a childlike curiosity towards exploring different worlds.

To bring the video to life, we meticulously crafted a handmade, layered, collage-like technique. We employed a diverse range of physical mediums such as paint, color pencils, gouache, and more. The production involved a combination of 3D animation, 2D animation, footage integration, and VFX, all working together to support a surrealist vision through a handmade vivid, textural, and colorful world.

A new vinyl edition of Watching Movies With the Sound Off is forthcoming, according to a press release. It will include the bonus song “The Quest.” The records are projected to ship on October 6.

Mac Miller released the final album of his lifetime, Swimming, in 2018. The posthumous companion album, Circles, followed in 2020.
