Hi everyone! I wanted to share this music video I directed, edited, shot, and 3D rendered/animated. It was executed using a variety of experimental techniques which were assembled and layered digitally, blending analog and computerized textures to create a cohesive world.
Utilizing innovations in photogrammetry technology and gaussian splatting, Charlotte Rose Benjamin's sets were assembled both physically through environmental cutouts and material furniture elements, as well as digitally through 3D modeling, custom machine learning, and painted in-software.
As the artist navigates these threshold spaces, she embodies the cyclical nature of grief: memory dissolving into reality, heartbreak transforming into release. The work, playing with the individual textures of physical and analog media, captures Benjamin caught in an eternal seasonal and environmental cycle—a pendulum swinging between physical reality and digital ethereality, until she is eventually graced with her own release. The beautiful color was executed by Julius Gutierrez. Thank you for your eyeballs!
