Video for Massive Attack song ‘Splitting the Atom’.
A really fascinating film, which mutates over the course of a few minutes from what looks like a slick minimalist advert for a high-end car, to a strange ruined cityscape at the end.
The most interesting element is the use of the 3D graphics in a very impressionistic way - the shattered brutalist polygons hint at reality rather than representing it. The result is a darkly-lit chaos which dredges up visions familiar to anyone who’s watched the news in the past ten years.
