The brief

A music video for Talk Is Cheap by Chet Faker.

The idea

The craft

Almost everything was made by hand, then finished digitally:

  • Faux stop motion.
  • 3D printing.
  • Makeup FX and compositing.
  • A whole lot of real ice. We almost flooded the studio.

The outcome

An ARIA nomination, and the most appreciated project on Behance (797 appreciations, 7.2k views). The video also led directly to our commission from French artist Charlelie Couture, who wanted “something similar to the ice”.
