blinkinLAB have been working with Pendulum and their EDM offshoot, Knife Party, for over a decade. For their recent show at London’s Alexandra Palace (as well as a few festival gigs), they collaborated with More Eyes, creating camera effects, content, and all aspects of video production. Working with a complex 3D stage design complete with columns and risers, they began with a vision to bring the artists’ music to life in as engaging a way as possible.
The creative team used various techniques and software to create wholly unique material for each track. They filmed spiders in live action, captured the motion of dancers, and completed 3D animation sequences. While Designer Dan Williams used Notch for real-time video effects, blinkinLAB’s Tom Wall used it to previsualise the complicated screen setup and output their content to the pixel map using UV camera projection.
