I made 3D scans of the shoot location in Epping Forest for digital environment shots with a virtual camera. We experimented a lot with how the rigged face model should look and how to animate the lip sync. I manually created a facial UV map from photographs of the artist in Photoshop and placed it on the model in Blender.

The head model was a customised MakeHuman mesh. For the head 'explosion', I created seams in the geometry by paintbrush selection and animated each piece individually for a uniquely detailed and organic look.

Transitions created in After Effects.


The narrative of the video is of the artist's internal battle with identity or alter ego.
