A ground breaking project involving use of a purpose built set and miniatures. A 180 degree set was constructed to position the band in a farm-house setting, with a 16 hour shoot of over 100 different shots from detailed storyboards completed over the course of a day. After a large crew of extras rattled, smoked, wind blasted and trashed the set, it was pulled down and rebuilt as the other side of the room and then the process began again. The internal scenes were complimented with an external scene that utilised a miniature placed in a sand-pit that when reduced to black & white, took on the appearance of snow. The tornado was created as a combination of particle animation and composited layers, that together with a bit of rock and roll, gave life to the menacing beast. The whole clip was then given a thorough polishing with attention to transitional elements and general dynamics. It should be noted that this clip was conceptualised, scripted, storyboarded, shot, edited, effected and presented for broadcast on an extremely low budget as part of a bigger project.
