Click 3X Wins Big With Dominos

The Brief:
In a flurry of snow, fog, and shattering ice sculptures, Haunt infuses Big Pink's latest video, Dominos, with an unforgettable visual mix that perfectly complements the up-and-coming group's lyrics, look, and sound.
The video, a sequence of close-up and medium-distance shots of various speed and focus, show the band rocking onstage as the Haunt-generated chaos rains down around them, the various explosions and debris enhancing the message of sadistic glee that bleeds through the song. Click 3X worked closely with production company Partizan and handled all the VFX and Flame work for the project.
VFX Supervisor Mark Szumski notes, "My role in this project was to enhance what was shot and blend two different cameras together. The video was shot on RED and on Phantom. In Flame, we created a basic look of the video with the intent of doing a DI process later. Getting the Phantom and Red camera shots to blend seamlessly was a challenge. For other scenes, I spent a lot of time adding, anamorphic flares, camera shakes, swirling fog and additional 3D particle FX into the scenes."
