This is the music video from ex-Radiohead front man Thom Yorke for his song “Harrowdown Hill” from his solo album “Eraser”. This video is visually very interesting. It uses a combination of stop-motion photography, politically disturbing footage of riots and that whole new “smallgantic” technique that some people have been experimenting with lately. Director Chel White from Bent Image Lab explains how they achieved the “smallgantic” look:
“The process involves splitting the footage up into several vertical planes that move back over the perceived z-axis, or into the image along its perceived depth. These planes are then affected with varying degrees of blur to simulate a shallow depth of field. If done right, the amount of blur increases smoothly as it moves along the planes of the image. Next, these levels of blur are animated to simulate a change in focus or to compensate for the forward movement of the camera.”
This video has won numerous awards at festivals such as The Worldwide Short Film Festival, MVPA and FutureShorts.
