ABOUT

A music video for Ants Part 1, the lead single from the album 'Industry' which would be released in April of the following year. The track is around nine minutes, which - at least in terms of duration - made this the most ambitious all-animated music video I've produced.

I pitched an idea to the band which works something like a ghost train ride, with the view-point constantly moving forward through an ever-changing series of strange and dream-like environments. They liked this idea and I set up the animations using Maya. Some of the elements within the scenes were fractally generated using Mandelbulb 3D and also this project marks my first use of Pixologic Zbrush in sculpting 3D objects for an aniation. The element were composited and edited using After Effects, where I was also able to apply the filters to make the video look like a worn old analogue TV recording.
