The Takeaway Music Video features Bianca North – longtime friend and fellow adventurer – experiencing a dreamscape-style-vision of a latent apocalypse. The project fuses compelling composition with unique VFX work, and clearly showcases the evolution of my production style and VFX portfolio.

The lyric-video style of the film takes after my Ocean Music Video – but takes it a step further with computer generated landscapes and environments.

In February 2019, I began drafting concepts for a music video that would test my VFX knowledge and take it to the next level. The concept would remain in ideation until later that year in July.

The project then saw 8 months in post-production in an on-and-off fashion between my other commitments and served as a creative outlet and opportunity to develop my compositing skills. It was until late January 2020 that the project finally began to fall into place. It was on the homestretch – finally reaching completion in February 2020.

The film has its inspirations in my own personal experiences and those of global ongoing issues – but I prefer to leave the interpretation of the film entirely up to you as the viewer.

The music video was filmed across eastern NSW – including The Entrance (Central Coast), Mt Keira, Kiama, and Cronulla.
