Throughout the years, The Chemical Brothers music videos have never ceased to amaze me and this new one from them is no different. They have released a really stunning new music video for “Wide Open” (featuring Beck) which is a song on from their eighth album release called ‘Born In The Echoes’. It features this young dancer in a warehouse who goes through a metamorphosis as she dances to the song. The video is directed by the band’s long-term collaborators Dom & Nic, whose previous visuals include the legendary ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ and ‘Setting Sun’ videos…
According to a press release:
Dom & Nic’s vision was to merge the mechanical and organic, having been inspired by procedural cellular structures; their VFX Team created a full CG model of the dancer, Sonoya Mizuno, comprising of 107 individual anatomic rigs, as well as bespoke tools to allow the seamless transformation which happens during the dance.
