“Hesperius Draco” Music Video by Richard Lord

One of the most delightfully strange music videos we’ve seen in a decade, “Hesperius Draco” was crafted by Seattle CG artist and director Richard Lord for Brussell’s based musician Alessandro Parisi.

Richard Lord: “The creatures are rigid body sims in Houdini, basically chains of spheres. They get pulled along by springs like puppets. They are procedural so you just roll the dice and get a new one. Everything was comped in After Effects.”
