@slevn81

they said they worked with flash. probably imported the shapes from photoshop, flash animated them using ableton to help sync the beats then projected & reshot them.

Great video, like a mix between Voodoo Ray and Hans Richter's work.

i think it's more like his video for the chemical brothers 'star guitar' video, what with the video mimicking the music...

[G4jima]

looks like something we saw at the warehouse project!

I'm absolutely astonished by the purity of shapes, forms, sounds, space, camera shots... This is an amazing exercise of art direction, one of the bests I've ever seen. Keep working together Alex and Kate!

Congrats for the result and thanks for this "behid the scenes".
