Process
Designed for music-makers with the glitchy aesthetics of “hyper-pop and contemporary reality”, the soundtrack showcasing this creative pack demanded kinetic visuals inspired by music and lyric videos from the genre:








Additionally, I was asked to include visuals of software user interface, as well as ASCII code art from pack creator Comakid – so in keeping with the genre’s aesthetic, I incorporated the UI shots as malfunctioning glimpses, and the ASCII art as glitchy easter eggs:




I also wanted to incorporate the colour scheme of the pack artwork:

The final video’s abstract visuals are a mixture of elements which become more unwieldy as the video progresses (the best part: getting to break so many “good design” rules):
- Warping textures (generated in After Effects) and effects (my first time exploring DaVinci Resolve’s effects – so much fun):




- Third-party stock images (to represent the samples and references):



- User Interface screen recordings and stills (chopped and screwed in DaVinci Resolve):






- and Futura typography:
