O’D SECT

From the song, I felt a summer-ambience kind of vibe and envisioned something ambient and electronic, so I wanted to make the visuals feel cool and refreshing. Although the meaning of the scenes themselves is abstract, I aligned the visuals with the beat and repeated the processes of editing and creating material to match the worldview of the lyrics, aiming for something that felt cohesively connected overall. For the graphic production and compositing (mainly in Blender, with a little final work in AE as well), I kept searching for something that matched the worldview and was pleasant to watch. During the material creation stage, I tried many different things with compositing in Blender, experimenting through trial and error, and connected various nodes together so that, even within abstraction, it would become something attractive and evocative. I did a lot of experimenting.

Music video for “PULSE091,” a single by the alternative band O'D SECT. A story of love’s radio waves, swimming through the universe for hundreds of millions of light-years. From the song’s sense of floating through space, and its nostalgic minimal beat rhythms and tones, we created the video with a Japanese retro-future image. We worked closely with the members to develop and refine the story, and we made it with the hope that the small details and hidden touches throughout would help it, along with the song, become something people will love.
