Wild Beasts Video

This is the crazy video for Wild Beasts new single. It was directed by OneInThree and is a kaleidoscope of imagery. The never ending maze like effect is hypnotic, but will leave you a bit cross eyed at the end. Here's a bit about it:

"It pioneers an amazing mind bending visual technique called the 'Droste Effect' which is based on an uncompleted lithograph that Escher made in 1956. The maths behind the lithograph was so complicated that Escher was unable to finish the centre of the picture and so left it blank. OneInThree developed the technique from Josh Sommers code so that it could be applied to moving images and apart from a grade & online at The Mill did all the VFX themselves."

What clever chaps they are!
