BottleGreen’s CG music video “Hacker” by Pavel Konstantinov

Hi everyone.
At last I have some free time to prepare and upload my animation online.
It’s CG music video for song “He is Hacker” of Ukrainian music band “Bottle Green”. Leader of the band is the friend of mine so I created this animation almost for free in my spare time.

You can download Medium-resolution DivX video here:

Almost everything was done by me during last year and rendered in December. Final cut with some post-fx was done in January of 2008 with help of my friend Vadim.
Update: my video was mentioned at 3DTotal.com which is really popular 3D resource.

Some additional details and Low-resolution YouTube variant of the video are under cut…
The story of the video is based on the comics by band’s drummer and connected with song’s lyrics. Main hero is hacker which has exchanged his real life with computer world. And now he is starting to see various kinds of illusions.
We have discussed first stages of creation process with band’s leader more than 1.5 year ago and first models and animations were created then. After that I had a break and back to the video only in a half year.
That’s why and also because it was really hard to do everything from concepts, modeling and rigging to animation, rendering and direction by myself – video can look a bit outdated in some places.
But the main thing I have set oneself as an object – was bringing everything I have done to the final, understandable and complete look.
It was really great experience for me.

Pavel,
WOW…this is absolutely stunning! If would not be surprised to see it on MTV; in fact it’s BETTER, more original and far funnier that pretty much everything that you see on MTV!!!
Absolutely fantastic work - I hope it gets the recognition it deserves (and that you deserve).
Cheers,
Pete.
PS I can’t speak Ukrainian, but the video told the story and the song has such a catchy beat it didn’t matter - I loved it!
