Producing a music video across countries, on a laptop

At the height of the pandemic in late 2020, digital artist Brent Patterson located in Buffalo, New York, was commissioned to work on a music video for a film studio in London, UK. In this presentation, Brent Patterson will discuss how he used Blender and other open-source software to remotely produce a uniquely styled music video using over 25,000 still photos, and how Blender’s real-time renderer, Eevee, facilitated the production.

Using bad quality scans for a music video as an art style is the greatest thing ever to see. I've been throwing out all of my bad scans, but these people made a hugh quality art out of that! Kudos to the artists.

Aside from the obvious awesome stuff, I'm impressed by the camera movements with these carefully tailored anim curves + all transitions between scenes. Astonishing work!

[@FalconWingz88]

i'm still struggling to do that !

[@seelosdvd]

Really nice! I can recommend watching the musicvideo on KZbin, since I think the projector/streaming add's a little stutter to it. For Those I Love - Birthday / The Pain Congrats to the artists, well done!

Very nice, "Pompei-like" design, so strange with that lockdown context. Bravo.

I love Blender everything about it from the community to the software. It is so neat to see how it brings Talent and creativity together. One day I dream to have one or the other. It would be far fetched to dream of both.

So sick!!! Very creative and interesting. Congratulations, guys!

Wasn't sure why I clicked on this video but I'm glad I did. That was facinating. And I love how small the world is now when it comes to collaborative media work!

[@aramzadikian]

Brent Patterson is a bad, bad man!

[@_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_]

Why do you say so?

[@BrentPatterson]

Indeed.

[@RoyBlumenthal]

So... Would you mind asking these blokes to redo TRAINSPOTTING using this technique? Shouldn't be TOOO OOOO hard. Maybe ten or twenty years of work?

[@user-ct8my8rv9c]

Cool use of photogrammetry but that song 😬
