I was brought on to design some backgrounds and moving elements for Coheed and Cambria’s latest music video, directed by Anthony Schepperd.

I modeled the gates in 3D and for some shots, rendered them as 2D with details drawn over them, while in other shots I drew directly onto the model, so it would match the hand drawn look from the 2D elements even when turning in space. I also created a shader that matched the painting style of the rest of the video in 3D.
