The disturbing world of the band Die Antwoord is no longer fascinating.

LETTER FROM JOHANNESBURG Ninja and Yolandi Visser of the band Die Antwoord at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois, in 2012. In a 45-minute video published in late April, the adopted son detailed alleged sexual assault by the notorious duo.īy Mathilde Boussion (Correspondent, Johannesburg (South Africa) ) Published on at 20h06, updated at 16h40 on August 25, 2022 The sequence sets the mood for the entire film, a bizarre visual feast enhanced by the JAMM team's attention to detail.South African rap duo Die Antwoord accused of sexual abuse by their adopted son Additionally, JAMM created the CG opening titles featuring the neon-lit insect encircling the Die Antwoord logo and song title. Incorporating references from the natural world, we made a custom digital mold that could evolve, with delicate threads of webbing that would grow down the contour of the alien's body.Īnother exciting aspect for this project was creating a photorealistic centipede with the wings of a damselfly, led by Animation Supervisor Stew Burris.

When she catches a glowing centipede-like creature and eats it – ravenously – a metamorphosis begins, starting with a webbed cocoon that begins to grow and glow around her.ĬG Artist Zak DiMaria led the JAMM team through the cocoon FX simulation, the most challenging aspect of the VFX process.

Shot in Detroit, the video features Yolandi as a hoodie-wearing, insect-resembling alien whose non-citizen status forces her to trawl the streets alone. JAMM was brought on to bring Ninja's grotesquely beautiful vision to life, with the goal for the VFX to create something never-before-seen yet authentic-feeling, a creature transformation which could exist within the pages of National Geographic.

Directed by Die Antwoord’s Ninja, the story he conceived with band-mate Yolandi Visser for 'Alien' shows the South African group continuing to push the boundaries of what a music video can be.
