Warm Dome

The note that produced it

“Make the cut to this song, animations, and get the good voices, better sound collage, blend, cut to the song … embers like above a campfire in wind or caustics at night with the Gaussian clouds, better blends and interpolation. See the vision: the video should feel seamless. Golden dome afterlight cut.”

Twelve transition plates for the song’s parts: embers in wind, night caustics, Gaussian clouds, the dome, the golden record.

What was made

The song is the bed and the archive leads in its open spaces. Pictures gather out of soft clouds under the one before; a dome of caustics breathes with the bass, a record turns in the break, glints release unevenly in the return.

On the cut before

Cut it to this song, Warm Dome & Golden Record, with twelve plates for its parts: embers in wind, caustics at night, a golden dome. “Seamless.”

On this cut

The animations don’t correspond and the words are “sort of meaningless.” Make it react to the beat, “no sense of anything but space and light and warmth,” led by better voices or a Kokoro script.
