To tell the story of lost souls, alone in the world, director David Slade came up with this characteristically dream-like treatment. The lost souls in the video are followed by rain clouds that continually drench them, strengthening their plight. My job therefore was to create miniature storm clouds that followed these people. The challenge was to create clouds that maintained their realism without appearing cartoon-like. The video was shot on multiple location and used a custom built rain machine to create the selective downpour that followed the lost souls. Using milk shot in slow motion in water I created the cloud element that follows these people. The milk was looped, reshaped, painted and graded to create a sense of directional lighting, and the rain was enhance with computer generated rain created in Inferno. Other effects included the star field in the end sequence that involved Inferno generated stars converging on David Gray on live action footage shot with a crane. All tracking of the hand held footage was done in Inferno.
