I collaborated with Ryan Lotz to create a set of video assets for MC Lars' Halloween album debut stream, a fully Edgar Allen Poe themed album. The project shattered its original Kickstarter goal. This stream was available exclusively to Patreon subscribers, and The Edgar Allen Poe LP was emailed early to them towards the end of the stream. MC Lars also uses the four animated song backgrounds for touring visuals.
Here are storyboards for the animated transition clip:
The First Transition - Storyboard
The First Transition Shot - Animated Background
We created static background shots of the rooms within the USS Amontadillo, which MC Lars walks between during the show and answers questions.
MC Lars' Music Studio - First Angle
MC Lars' Music Studio - Second Angle
Archive Dungeon Background Loop
Mask layer for later compositing with MC Lars' footage
Finally, we were tasked with creating looping video backgrounds for four of his new songs. Each was animated in Adobe After Effects and composited using the Maxon Red Giant suite of plug-ins.
