""They're so inventive, so full of joy, always delivering little doses of the kind of wonder we're always searching for in our own videos," he says. "So I thought the universe flowing from his brain might be the perfect setting for a lyric video, but when I reached out to him, he had a more ambitious project to propose: a 'live performance' with me as one of his characters. 'Suddenly it was a much weirder, more wonderful project than what I'd envisioned.'"
"The pair teamed up with Will Anderson to design a dynamic procedural system in Blender for puppeting a digital character via face-capture software with support from Blender Studio. While the video above features a performance tracking Damian's face, anyone can make an adaptation capturing their own performance of the song or otherwise remixing the animation. All of the necessary files, tools, and documentation are available for download from the Blender website."
Blender, an open-source 3D modelling and animation program, was used to create OK Go's music video for "Impulse Purchase." The video combines Will Anderson's quirky animation with Lucas Zanotto's playful design language and features Damian Kulash controlling the main 3D character in real time via face-capture during performance. Kulash collaborated with Zanotto and Anderson to build a dynamic procedural system in Blender for puppeting a digital character. The project was supported by Blender Studio and all files, tools, and documentation have been released for free download to enable remixing, adaptations, and learning.
