Music Video for Welcome to the Cinema.

Think 1970s, sci-fi, dance-off in space, B-movie.

The Story

An elite dance crew escapes Earth’s destruction only to be abducted by an evil spaceship. Once on board, control of the universe is wagered on an epic dance off. When the evil dance crew seems too powerful… the band Welcome to the Cinema is summoned form the 5 corners of the galaxy. The band members leave their everyday jobs to unite as one and save the universe. The magical power of their music rocks the evil team and the forces of good prevail.

Pyro Shoot

Zeke shot behind the scenes of “Earth Explodes!” We made four exercise ball sized paper-mâché earth models. My crane hookup fell through last minute so we had to strap a camera to an old grain elevator.

Build Scenes

Little montage of builds and effects. 2min

Cody Brown animates for Welcome to the Cinema

For this track from Welcome to the Cinema entitled “Adrien Brody”, director Cody Brown decided to take an animated approach. The video is composed of nearly 3,000 crayon drawings, with a few hints of stop-motion as well as some other textures thrown in for good measure.

A Ha’s “Take On Me”, Jamie Lidell’s “You Got Me Up” and the Rainbow Road course from Mario Kart are primary influences for the clip.

Live Action reference footage was edited in Final Cut, with 3D Pre-Vis composed in Maya. The video was captured on a Canon 50D and assembled in After Effects.
