‘Next they come for you’ music video

A music video created for the instrumental track 'Next they come for you' by Jeff Lang and Danny McKenna.

Combining excerpts of archival footage I have weaved together a new narrative from disparate sources, all held together via a common thread of documentary/scientific footage from the 1950's.

I've integrated and composited various vfx and animation atop every shot to create another level of intrigue, aiming to honour these pieces and their original creators whilst screening them through a new contextual lens.

Made using Adobe CC (After Effects and Premiere Pro). Plugins: Red Giant’s Particular.

The following clips are the originals from which excerpts are used in the video:
