We’re all invited to Belshazzar’s Feast!
In late 2020 I was contacted by Blinkink Producer Alex Halley to work on a top secret music video for a high profile heavy metal band directed by Nicos Livesey.
This band turned out to be the legendary Iron Maiden who were releasing their first new song in six years: The Writing on the Wall. Upon watching the animatic I could immediately tell that this was going to be something special with a unique vision and brilliant music track. I leapt at the chance to be part of the team.
Working through the winter into 2021, our remit was to pull out every trick in the book to realise this ambitious video. It was a fantastic job with a great group of artists, everyone fully invested in pulling out all the stops to realise Nicos’ vision. I animated a minute’s worth of the finished video and had a blast every step of the way.
