Beck and The Chemical Brothers Get Metamorphic in ‘Wide Open’ Video

The Chemical Brothers and Beck joined forces on the Born in the Echoes track “Wide Open” late last year, and have followed up today with an appropriately accompanying video.

Directed by Chemicals favorites Dom & Nic, the clip features dancer Sonoya Mizuno performing a solo interpretation of the track as she moves throughout a warehouse, marveling as her body transforms into virtual mesh.

Here’s the vision behind the “Wide Open” video:

Dom&nic’s vision was to merge the mechanical and organic, having been inspired by procedural cellular structures; their VFX Team created a full CG model of the dancer, Sonoya Mizuno, comprising of 107 individual anatomic rigs, as well as bespoke tools to allow the seamless transformation which happens during the dance.
