De Staat - Witch Doctor (official video)

[@AwoudeX]

The best songs aren't the ones that you immediately recognize. It's the type of song that agrees with you long enough to grow on your soul and gets stuck there forever.

[@Boborbot]

This feels like the perfect boss fight for a video game with very little supernatural elements set in the wild west or victorian England. This setup, and combat with the giant crowd acting as a hive mind and the squishy "witch doctor" in the middle.

[@juanpabloponce9334]

Nitay A. What about joseph seed?

[@xRAINxOFxBLOODx]

I really like this idea. The intense trippy beat, flashing lights from followers blacking out torches on rhythm in a smoky haze of psychedelic herbs, while rabid followers trample you, running in circles like a shield. The followers think it's a strong protection ritual, but it's just disorienting the player and making a living tornado barrier that's difficult to put clear holes in.

[@jakevargas2484]

They need to make a plush toy witch doctor... Squishy and all.

[@Gunth0r]

@@xRAINxOFxBLOODx And that's what you believe the entire game. That the followers are delusional. You believe it right up until the point they start flying when the witch doctor boss is down to 15% HP.

[@alexpadoushski8958]

So the Deacons of The Deep from DS3?

[@S4R1N]

I love how the animation has been done with so much weight, usually animation gets let down by impossible movement speeds, but this, even with the clay looking characters and...flying , it still looks real. Remember the first time I saw this I didn't realize until a minute in that it was CGI (yay poor internet back then) lol.

[@TheSychuinTree]

Yeah, this sure looks a hell of a lot better than that one Black Panther fight scene.

[@ABoyAndHisInternet]

Until the part where the CGI people started floating away, all I could think about was how cool it would be to find hundreds of extras to remake this video with actual people. Then the cost of flying that many people safely exceeded my budget dramatically.

[@teunjansen238]

They did that with a live performance ;)

[@rodrigorenie]

+Teun Jansen really? is there on youtube?

[@declanjohn8517]

+Rodrigo Renie de Braga Pinto Search for De Staat Witch Doctor Live and lots and lots of clips of different live shows will pop up. Most are filmed by someone in the audience standing on a balcony but there is one rather terrifying video that was filmed by one of the fans from his point of view as he was part of the running crowd. After those, if you want to see a clip of the actual ritual that inspired this video, search YT for Hypnotizing circle dance by Sufi Zikr

[@hellterminator]

Yeah, it's on KZbin, but it sucks. Turns out people are really bad at running in a circle for some reason.

[@abimmel]

A bit late to the show, but seriously, the level of professionalism in this clip, the syncing of the cameras, lights, CGI alone is amazing. And it might have been needed to do in one take for the entire performance, and to top it off, it would not surprise me if parts of the performance were recorded at a slower rate than the original track. And if you then consider the precision of the lip syncing.... Safe to say, one of the best video clips I've ever seen and an amazing accomplishment to everyone involved. Thank you for making this
