Music Video: Kiss Kiss, "Machines"

Artwork Finished Projects
#1

Hi,
This is a video i directed and animated for the band Kiss Kiss (Eyeball Records).

All the animation is done in Blender (2.42) with 2D done in Gimp. Some comping done in AE 6.5 and the final edit done in Final Cut 5.1.4… When I have time i’ll learn nodes and try the NLE in Blender, but at present this is the workflow that best serves me and enables me to work with my editor (as in a person who edits, not software).

I used the ambient occlusion and hemi lights to get that soft lighting that i find to look really nice in stylized 3D (like PsyOps). The robots eyes were done with shadeless materials and everything was done with the internal renderer.

I loved this music video, I’ve seen it twice so far. The style, colors, and models are fantastic. The points that really stuck out at me were: the stock chart for the burger company, the suction farmers, and the nuke going off. The robots were awesome, and your modeling matched the style of the music perfectly. Your cuts were short enough to keep the energy in the music video up. My only critique would be the walk cycle of the burger animals, it seemed a little clunky (even if that was the style you were going for) compared to everything else in the movie.

Great job.
