This project is a story about feeling lonely in a vast world. It’s a commisioned music video I made for the artist Kamma.

 

The idea, mood and storyboard is my own, with some input from the artist herself. It is very heavily inspired by Wong Kar-Wai’s Chungking Express, both from mood, tempo as well as the very effective use of step-printing to isolate the characters in their own world. Atmosphere and mood is also heavily leaning on classic and newer science fiction like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell.

 

I chose to make this in Unreal Engine as I know the tools quite well and wanted to take advantage of the new Metahumans and the free access to Megascans, without which I wouldn’t have been able to finish it in time.
