Gotye Hearts a Mess - Official Music Video
Official music video for the single "Hearts a Mess" by Gotye, from his album "Like Drawing Blood". In the video, a pied piper character walks the Earth, calling on its strange inhabitants to leave the wasted planet and follow him to a new world. Production company pictureDRIFT developed a concept that would enhance the dark romanticism of the track whilst feeding a developing curiosity in 3d character development and animation. Time-lapse photography of rock landscapes and clouds was used to create the background environments. Characters were designed in illustrator then modelled and animated in Autodesk maya with final compositing in Adobe aftereffects.
