Bomper Studio directs an adrenaline-filled, animated music video for legendary rock band, Foo Fighters for the track ‘No Son of Mine’

RCA approached Bomper Studio with live action footage of the band, filmed for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with the desire to use this footage as a base to release an epic music video in a tight-turnaround. The initial brief was to cut the live action footage with frames of CGI animation to tell a sketch-book style character story, reminiscent of ‘Smack My B*tch Up’ by Prodigy.

Taking cues from the song's lyrics and theme, the music video follows a character through a night of wild debauchery and violence - from strip clubs to bar fights to high speed driving. The film uses stark black and white visuals, punctuated with green and is filled with quick cuts, chaotic action and disorientating close-ups to deliver knockout punches. Nothing is overly smooth or slick, but the music video works to serve up a shot of pure adrenaline straight to the heart.
