Snow Patrol’s The Lightning Strike live visuals by Atticus Finch

Not content with writing era-defining multi-million sellers, Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody came up with the idea for a 16-minute HD animation played as screen visuals as the band play the epic three-track song-cycle called The Lightning Strike on their current Take Back The Cities world stadium tour.

Atticus Finch brought in fellow micro-studio Undabo to help develop an origami style of modelling and texturing that drew on album artwork for A Hundred Million Suns. They animated rockets, satellites, fish, rainbows, cars - and a Snow Patrol gig in 'CGI origami'.

In a little over three months, they created over 24,000 frames of bespoke animation to be played out onto a 60 x 40ft projection screen. For the first six minutes this is hung in from of the band before moving to massive LED screens behind them.
