'Bladerunner' music video - Locker X - daily random fractals #9

in #video7 years ago (edited)

So there I was wanting an animated video for my track 'Locker X'. Didn't have the cash to pay for an animator so I learned how to use Mandelbulb3D and After Effects to make my own. 7 months of rendering (with a lot of help from friend's CPUs and every free cloud-computing trial I could find) later, I finished!

Even better, it got screened in several major animation festivals around the planet - a nice bonus surprise!


  • Curated for for David's Video Zoo.
  • Official Selection: 23rd Int. Trickfilm Festival Stuttgart (DE), Melbourne International Animation Festival 2016 (AU), Sydney Film Festival 2016 (AU), Proxy Act 2016 (UK), Animatou 2016 (CH), Anilogue #14 Budapest 2016 (HU), Manhattan Independent Film Festival 2016 (US), Independent Days Karlsruhe 2017 (DE), Indie Hype Festival 2016 (AU), Hong Kong Arthouse Film Festival 2016, Martinique Animation Festival 2016.

A dark space opera of a music video, influenced by the writings of Iain M Banks and a lifetime of sci-fi appreciation - especially in the vein of Bladerunner and Ghost In The Shell.
2 energetic entities are followed through a dystopian future world in the Boötes Constellation, which becomes weirdly hypnotic and compelling.

Phi, also known as the “golden ratio” or the “golden mean”, was used to generate the sounds in SuperCollider, which is a programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. The golden mean appears in all forms of science and nature, and has been used by mankind for centuries in architecture. For Sonical, the application of the golden ratio to aspects of sound was a fundamentally organic step in the evolution of Sonical's compositions.
