GOMEZ The music video for the band Gomez was the first project I worked on for Parasol Island. There were just the four boys who had founded the company. They had not enough workstations at that time and so I made a lot of this stuff for this video on my laptop.
I teamed up with one of them, Philipp Hansen, to create all the animations for this music video. Uwe Flade directed this video for label Virgin Records.
I am mostly font of the roller coaster ride I made as the camera and motion of the ride really worked out fine and became a dynamic part of the video. This video was my first contact with what you would call motion graphics. I had done a lot of visual effects and character work at that
time but not much stuff that included illustrated graphics. All of those wonderful illustrations were created by great artist and good friend of mine ,Niklas Briner,who I met there the first time.
Back then I had never heard of Gomez before as they are mostly famous in England, but they are great musicians and created wonderful songs. This is one of my favorites! Its called “See the the World”. Great video as well!
