This is the latest video for Major Lazer’s new single ‘Keep It Goin’ Louder’.

Here is a little extra background I received about the making of the video:
“Jason Miller directed the live action out in the states and sent across all the raw footage, Ferry, who has done all the illustration so far for Major Lazer got in touch, and together we completed the animation at Trunk. The look of the video was inspired by those washed out horror movies you used to sit and watch time and time again on VHS, so the footage and animation were composited with this in mind, and then de-saturated in the grade.”

Live Action Director- Jason Miller

Comments from Siggi Eggertsson:
“This is a video that is made from over 400 images that I created from 2003-2009. Bits and pieces from commercial, rejected and personal projects. I had been collecting all those images to use in a completely different project, but then discovered that they could look great in animation too. After painful days in After Effects, fighting with all those 400 layers (and nearly killing my computer), the video was complete.”
