Description:
This 7:40 music video for Björk’s new single “Wanderlust” combines live action, miniatures, animatronic puppetry, and innovative use of 3D CGI, all shot and created stereoscopically for a true 3D experience.The video is innovative in its use of so many different methodologies used simultaneously to give a rich, surrealistic 3D experience to theviewer and tell a complex and dream-like story. It was shot with two2K digital cameras put together in a homemade rig to allow for accurate stereoscopic filming. Live characters, large-scale mechanical puppets, and miniatures were all filmed on green screen and composited with intricate 3D-generated water, foam, spray, and digital matte paintings into a rich stereoscopic composite. In keeping with the surrealist look of the video, the 3D water was created using a combination of water-simulation software for the movement and 3Dlayered and manicured CG hair for the form of the water. This video was simultaneously completed in standard 2D, anaglyph 3D, and polarized 3D.
