BUG regularly commissions Loco to create short films to introduce the shows in the bi-monthly music video series at the BFI Southbank. BUG’s theme, “The Evolution of Music Video” inspired our homage to the musical film genre, a precursor to music videos. Mixing live action and 3D modelling, our 3D/ VFX team created “The Hills Are Alive”, in which our Maria’s whimsical dance on the mountain top turns into an encounter with a monstrous bug creature camouflaged as a rose.
