One minute into this Snoop Dogg cover of the Tom Petty track “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”, Psyop studio partners Temple Caché take over the visuals with a cannabis-fueled mashup of live-action, 2D, 3D, motion design, and AI.

Produced in collaboration with director Dave Meyers, Dr. Dre, and Death Row Records, the video features cool/kooky cameos by Jelly Roll, B-Real, Method Man, Redman, and Wiz Khalifa.

Temple Caché co-founder/directors Marion Castéra and Kelzang Ravach: “We immediately knew this was going to be something special – ambitious, experimental, and unlike anything seen before in a music video or otherwise.
 

“We had to tinker constantly with the surreal aesthetic to achieve the right visual identity, making sure it felt handcrafted and authentic to ensure the story remained clear and cohesive.”

 
“This mix of new technology [including proprietary AI tools developed by Temple Caché], and traditional craftsmanship became the essence of the video’s identity. The process was a deep dive into experimentation. We had to tinker constantly with the surreal aesthetic to achieve the right visual identity, making sure it felt handcrafted and authentic to ensure the story remained clear and cohesive.”

Psyop EP Andrew Linsk: “Storytelling requires nuance, from facial expressions to body movements, and AI has yet to master nuance. To achieve subtle details and ensure consistency across shots, each frame was touched by human artists – reanimated, composited and layered manually.”
