Mixing Motion Graphics and Real Life

I just finished working with Seattle-based band Gumshen.  This project was a great blend of work between an animator and an editor.

The video was shot by projecting animation through a digital projector, the only source of light, projected onto the band.  Then we took animations and generated SFX and overlaid that on the footage.  Colorized, cut to the beat, a few little features later.  An additional goal was to have the SFX interact with the physical effects.  We had a cut.

It’s a great song and it was another fun creative project.  ENJOY!
