Howard CG /​ Visual Effects Artist and Motion Designer

ABOUT

The single A Comforting Uncertainty was released in February 2022, ahead of the launch of the album 'Industry' on 1st April. I had an idea stuck in my mind for a couple of years for a short dystopian science fiction film which I'd been hoping to make. I pitched this idea to the band as a possible music video narrative and they quickly got on board with it.

The filming was done over two days in London, one spent in the Mansion House/Seven Sisters area and one at the Barbican Centre. Post production took me around a month and a half, using Zbrush and Maya to build the 3D models, SynthEyes to track them into the shots, Mental Ray to render the CGI and After Effects to do the 2D motion tracking, compositing, grading and editing.

The video had its official premiere at the kino London open mic film night in Angel on the 11th February with all band members in attendance.
