For our Korn “Start the Healing” video we wanted to create a dreamlike mix of IRL performance, capturing the visceral quality of their infamous live shows, with a contemporary take on the nightmare-fuel visual lore of the bands legacy. H.R. Giger was our jumping off point visually as they have collaborated with the legend in past works, but we wanted to push them into a modern, liminal-space world, removing as many horror tropes as possible To engineer this world we tapped into the body horror aesthetic of performance artists such as Matthew Barney and sci-fi director David Cronenberg, story wise creating a cathartic journey into the underworld. A vampiric character syphoning energy from abstract creatures was created to drive the narrative and anchor the vast array of esoteric visions we wanted to immerse the viewer in. We pushed heavily into using virtual cameras for our 3d work to create a fury of confusion and mirrored those same “impossible” moves with our performance footage.
