Artwork & Visualiser for The Amazons by oneteneleven

A Collaboration with Photographer Matt Goff for The Amazons self-titled debut album. Scheduled for release on 2nd June 2017.

Fiction records approached me with an image of the van on a hill overlooking Reading shot by Matt Goff. Reference imagery was supplied and the brief was to set the van on fire!

First the image required a number of Photoshop edits to remove unwanted vehicles from the scene & isolate the van from the background. Then the fun began, make it burn! The fire and smoke was achieved layering up a combination of Photoshop brushes & stock images, around 450 layers in total. The van was scorched using the Photoshop burn tool, perfect for the job. Photo filters, grain, blur & distortion were added to give the image an extra sense of realism.

The album artwork has had a great response so far on social media. Sorry to the fans if the illusion has been shattered, but no van’s were harmed in the creation of the artwork.

An animated version was created as a social media promo video. 3D & fire simulation techniques were used within Cinema4D to create the animation.
