The Black Seeds - Slingshot
The sling shot video is a cosmic and mystical journey through the internal working of a fortune telling machine, where the randomness of life, fate, karma and destiny are all intertwined.
To build this world where fortunes are made we use a mix of blue screen footage, 2D and 3D animated elements with psychedelic visual and colours. The video took 5 weeks to produce from the projects' green light to handing over the beta tapes. One week to organise the talents to crew for the one day shoot and 4 weeks to add the magic.
