Zedd · One Strange Rock
Visual effects for Zedd's One Strange Rock music film, surreal environments and dreamlike transitions, plus a key-art concept for the release.
One Strange Rock is a music film for Zedd that explores the relationship between humanity and the natural world through surreal visual storytelling, blending live action with cinematic effects into dreamlike environments and transitions. I worked as part of the VFX team, helping bring several of those sequences to life.
The craft is the film. The concept half is the release art I’d build around it as art director: taking the same surreal visual language into single art and a social system, so the music and the imagery read as one world.
Sequences
Frames from the surreal worlds and transitions: matter forming and dissolving, landscapes that breathe, the human figure inside something vast.

The era, as key art
Where I'd take it: pulling the film's surreal language into the release identity, single art and social that feel like stills from the same dream. Concept work to show the art direction around the VFX craft.
