The video was filmed by the band themselves on the road, with guitarist and Aduro labs member Niklas Sundin taking care of the editing/post production duties. Additional live footage was provided by Anders Björler and Nikolas Pegler. "I wanted to create a live video that would capture the energy of our show both from the audience's perspective as well as from the stage. To accomplish this, we headed out on our recent Europe/Russia tours equipped with a GoPro HD camera, which was mounted on various objects (guitar necks, vocal microphone, member's bodies etc.) on most of the shows. Despite probably looking pretty weird for those in the crowd that noticed the little device, we arrived home with a lot of interesting footage, and after a lot of editing we're happy to present the final result: A clip for "In my absence", filled with an energy and closeness out of the ordinary. Enjoy!" http://www.niklassundin.com/Dark-tranquillity-video-showreel-2012 http://www.niklassundin.com/following/niklassundin.com/Dark-tranquillity-video-showreel-2012 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:57:44 +0000 Niklas Sundin 2798635 For the past four years, I've created video projections for Dark tranquillity. Thanks to the usage of a click track for samples and drum tempos, the footage can be 100% synchronized with the music, allowing the use of time matched keywords and animations that accentuate the rhythms and changes of the particular songs. The challenge is to create a good balance between the simple and complex, the visceral and cerebral. Most motion graphics techniques are used; animating and compositing still images originally created for CD covers/layouts, timelapse painting in Alchemy/Painter, custom photo/film work, 3D, stock video integration and so forth. Needless to say, one should visit the live show in order to get the full experience. The video backdrop is but one component of the gig, intended to accentuate the performance and provide a complementary experience to the music and lyrics. For this reason, the showreel above doesn't show any of the full-song animations but a very small sample set to a seperate piece of music. darktranquillity.com http://www.niklassundin.com/GSG-Pinball http://www.niklassundin.com/following/niklassundin.com/GSG-Pinball Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:21:12 +0000 Niklas Sundin 2711396 Quick little thing for Greyscalegorilla's 5 second project series.
