Big Sand - Take Me Home (Official Video)

Описание: Four friends. A travelling band. A beautiful but harsh desert planet.

Welcome to Big Sand.

Big Sand is an animated science fiction virtual band, and the new project from musician and former triple j Breakfast host Sally Coleman. It's a project that uses emerging technology like motion capture and virtual production to experiment with new kinds of musical storytelling.

'Take Me Home' is the band's debut single, written by Sally in collaboration with Alice Ivy.

The music video has been created for the band by CDW Animation, and uses Unreal Engine and motion capture to introduce the lead characters Taal, Priak, Kfffft and Kiz-OO for the very first time.

Huge thanks to the CDW team for their hard work, talent and generosity.
