Studio Hansa: Iron Maiden’s “Final Frontier”

The music video for Iron Maiden‘s “Final Frontier” is a beautifully constructed CGI sci-fi mash-up inspired by guitarist Steve Harris’ vision of an astronaut floating through space. Taking influence from movies like Alien, Predator and Raiders Of The Lost Ark, production house Studio Hansa and CGI/animation studio Darkside used 141 shots combining live action and animation to render the five-minute masterpiece you see above. Other tech used includes LightWave for rendering and space animation and messiahStudio for character animation.

Benjamin Soehnel: Static Advance

The prints in Benjamin Soehnel‘s Static Advance series are technically “6th generation Digital Surface Art(works),” which are assembled from algorithmic patterns made entirely from software. As Soehnel says, “It is not art of chance, but art of choice.” From the looks of his blog, we’re guessing that “6th generation” alludes to the prints having been run through the software process six consecutive times. It’s actually pretty cool to see the transformations from generation to generation. Check them out here.

Rimantas Lukavicius: SWEETBOX Launch Film

For the launch of Sweetbox, a boutique visual effects company in Sydney, director Rimantas Lukavicius and team were asked to “explore the beauty and serenity of what the world would look like when coming to an end.” In a style that embeds silvery CGI constructions into live-action footage, reminiscent of Factory Fifteen, a metallic, liquid-esque structure emerges from the ground and extends towards the sky as the camera slowly pans out. If this is the end of the world as we know it, it sure looks fine.
