This is a music video for the song “Visions Creeping” by the Kamloops band Sleeps With Matches (myspace.com/sleepswithmatches) … note that the video is unfinished, as it kind of peters out about a third of the way in. It’s the first thing I’ve ever tried to make using 3D software (well, 2D objects in a 3D space – using the software called Motion), and my idea certainly exceeded my abilities – but that’s part of the fun of the video, I think. A few of the animated elements, such as the rat, the lizard, the helicopter, and the radio, were downloaded from animationfactory.com, where I had a membership at the time. The plan for the rest of the video was to leave the house, then venture down a wasteland highway, passing by all sorts of weird characters and distant factories, then enter into a nuclear factory where there’s a spill, and finally to pass through a smokestack into the sky, and drift through stars, looking back at earth.
I’ve been working lately on two other videos for Sleeps With Matches. Check out Forgot Your Face and Inspiring Expiring.
