A music video for "Ablutions," a new track by Kyle Bruckmann, from his forthcoming album Patternalia, on Clairvoyant Records.
I'm up to some of my usual tricks, here - a grid of circles is still a grid, and as with several previous projects, the animation is present as a continuous single “shot” or “take” with no edits. But there are some new developments, too - that single shot encompasses transitions between several contrasting “scenes,” aligned with my understanding of the structure of Kyle’s music. I’ve also used partially-transparent color as a way to get various blur and glow effects that create a sense of depth, even though this is fundamentally a flat picture plane without any use of perspective or other simulated 3-D.
