Short Film: "Under The Knife" - Etta Bond

A short film collaboration project for the "Random Acts" series by Channel 4 literally goes "Under The Knife." The film, directed by Jeremy Cole, opens with a continuos shot of UK singer Etta Bond which is fragmented into hundreds of shattered pieces. 1374 3D layers in After Effects to be exact, all individually key framed and positioned. As the song progresses, the pieces begin to merge together, revealing a face behind the voice.

"Under The Knife" is undeniably unique and technically beautiful, with a powerful message. And not to mention, Jeremy Cole is an After Effects wizard.
