Polish pop band and YouTube stars Ekipa and their dinosaur doppelgangers are launched on a post-apocalypse romp in this animated frenzy by director Rafał Blecharz and Pigeon Studio in Kraków, Poland.

Rafał Blecharz: “Ekipa just published their first music album and our job was to create the animated music video for “Na Zajawce” (“It’s a thrill”). We had complete creative control of the project from the creative concept, script to execution.

“The video takes place after the fall of the gigantic radioactive meteorite that covers the whole Earth with water. Ekipa’s members survived the apocalypse but mutated into the dinosaurs because of the radiation. Now they travel the ocean in a mech that looks like a giant sumo wrestler.

“The colors and the type of dinosaur were chosen to fit the real band members. Attributes are based on their interests when it comes to shoes, outfits, hairstyles, and accessories.

“To attract the teenage audience, the video had to be fast-paced and engaging from the get-go. Even though we’re showing the world after the disaster, the colors were bright, neon-like, and cheerful to fit Ekipa’s image.”
