Here are some stage visuals I recently did for M.I.A. The deadline for this was extremely tight, everything was done in a few days in preparation for her Coachella gig last weekend.

Here was the first test I did before any brief, it wasn’t used in the end but it’s my personal favourite. You can view this with red/cyan glasses, the gun’s distortion is in true 3d space.

This is a composite of some of the other ones I did, more in line with M.I.A’s aesthetic. (unfortunately compression kind of kills the flat colors/strobe effects). Since these were rendered in extreme widescreen I compressed them both into one video. The left audio channel is for the song “World Town” and the right the final version of “Bang”. Listen to them separately with headphones.

I wish I could understand Chinese.. a magazine called CG world China just sent me this six page feature, the layout is amazing.

Also, check out this excellent WTF animation of my Walt Disney head by Charles Huettner

Here is my sequence for the PSST!3 project, part of an animation with Chris Harding of Shynola & David Shrigley, the full film can be seen here. This features the head of Walt Disney, which can still be downloaded here.

Thank you again to everyone who came to my talks at Lynfabrikken and Republikken in Denmark, and especially to Lasse Schuleit for setting it all up. Both places are totally amazing workspaces for creative people, I wish there was an equivalent in Berlin or London.
