Depeche Mode ‘Fragile Tension’

A music video I recently produced graphics for has just been released – for the Depeche Mode single “Fragile Tension”, directed by Rob Chandler & Barney Steel of The Found Collective, commissioned by John Moule.

Dancers were filmed, and along with footage of the band, fed into custom software. The software analyzes the footage, and in real-time outputs visualizations based on motion and numerous user-controlled parameters to adjust the behaviour, look & feel, various different modes etc. – later to be composited and finished in a traditional post-production workflow.
