Foo Fighters - Chasing Birds

Following the success of "No Son of Mine," RCA approached Bomper Studio to create another Foo Fighters music video, "Chasing Birds." Drawing inspiration from The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" and other dreamy, psychedelic animations, we crafted one of my favourite music videos to date.

The production utilised a Maya and Cinema 4D workflow. After extensive R&D to achieve the desired look and feel, we selected Arnold as the renderer, which provided a unique pulp-like aesthetic.

The music video was warmly received by both the band and the Foo Fighters community. It was especially rewarding to see them discover and appreciate the numerous easter eggs we had hidden throughout the piece.
