Thom Yorke | Last I Heard (...he was circling the drain)

Animation
2018



 Last I Heard (…He Was Circling The Drain) is a black and white music video made from fragments of Thom Yorke's imagination and an experimental combination of charcoal painting, crowd simulation, 3D animation, and stop motion photography across 3000 hand-treated frames.

The process for making this animation was extremely iterative and cyclical, and started from every direction at once. We experimented with clay sculpture and one-cent 3D horses, crowd simulations and charcoal dust, linear storytelling and abstract expression. We made the entire video and threw it away, made it again, threw it away, dozens of times.
