The new videos for the newest Disco Biscuits album shows some great visual effects from Noah Rappaport, who has an article up on Renderosity about how he created the thin robot that dominates the videos.
To stay on budget, footage for all three videos was shot at the same time in just five days. Two weeks into production, as they were about to start shooting, Rappaport had finished creating animatics from C4D to use on set and plan each shot. High dynamic range (HDR) photos he had taken of the club set came in handy when Rappaport worked with David Torno of Ghost Town Media to light scenes and composite scenes in CINEMA 4D using Global Illumination and minimal directional lights. Ghost Town also handled all the motion tracking for the videos. Compositing was done with After Effects.
