Gorillaz "rock da house"
Pete Candeland, Jamie Hewlett · 2002
The evolution from 2D to 3D of virtual band Gorillaz continues with Passion Pictures' latest promo, "Rock Da House." While the band members maintain their 2D appearance, this animation departs from the primarily 2D environments they inhabited in previous promos by involving a 3D Ghost Rapper character and stylized 3D dancers in the background. The Passion Pictures team led by directors Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland resorted to 3D band members where complex camera moves made 2D too time-consuming. Once the 2D was scanned into SoftToonz, the band members were married up with the 3D imagery in After Effects.
