The Budos Band - Overlander

For Budos Band's latest single Overlander I revisited some techniques I developed a little while back, putting a fresh twist on them. The foreground animation's built with a virtual set in Unreal Engine 5.5, comped with a whole load of painting textures developed with sd1.5, while the animated background skies and clouds are all classic After Effects, which also covered the compositing as well as a load of visual effects and messy grading.

Incredible project to work on, thanks to Brian Profilio (@b.profilio.art) for working with me to build on his original artwork for the band's new album VII.

WAR

After the collapse, men sacrificed flesh for simulation binding all future sons to an artificial eternity. Women Chose freedom. From the ashes, they forged digital avatars not to rule, but to reveal the truth. For centuries, the battle raged. A war of sexes, of ideologies... Yet neither could see the truth. The virtual world was a cage. The battle, a test. And the architect? Not man. Not woman. A savage god......watching.....learning....
