Tamsin Glasson and David Wilson knocked on our door and asked if we could help out with VFX for this Little Boots project which we were keen to oblige.

David had some fantastic After Effects scripts he’d written which created some very cool kaleidoscope patterns. The idea was to use these and integrate them into a body of shots which had similar looking FX but all shot in-camera.  Chris Bristow at Munky worked closely with David through pre and post production developing the scripts further. The result is a very well crafted promo.

Matt Lambert at Motionographer sums it up rather nicely….

I know most of you are thinking, “not another kaleidoscope video.” Well yes, it is. However, I’m posting this as proof that a process, even as tired as the kaleidoscope effect, can be pushed back into relevance. It fits right in with his growing body of work that explores pattern, composition and meticulous planning.

Rather than leaning on this stock After Effects plug-in, David has a crafted an intricate structure of visuals that directly connect to the effect he is using. Take a moment to examine some of the detail and synchronization in the effects shots and you’ll see the great attention to detail that must have gone into the pre-production of this shoot. If every idea has been done, just do it better…
