Biffy Clyro 'Wolves Of Winter' by Chris Boyle

David Knight - 14th Apr 2016

Chris Boyle has returned to music videos to create this power-packed saga in the span of four minutes - for British rock band Biffy Clyro's first single Wolves Of Winter, from their seventh album Ellipsis.

The 3D-animated visual journey is epic to say the least, taking us through time and space in at dizzying speed. In the span of one video we see a massive T-Rex hunting down a glitched-out wolf, through to bone-crushing scenes of medieval warfare, to World War fighter pilot shootouts, to a car chase which turns into a Star Wars-style mission.

CHRIS BOYLE:

"I'm always up for intergalactic shenanigans (with or without Matt Berry) and Biffy's colossal Wolves of Winter lured me back from the world of games and commercials to build a quaint, minimal tale about a psychedelic shape-shifting wolf that cannons from the beginning of time to the distant future. 

"It was an awesome opportunity to cram in a bunch of references from Jason and the Argonauts to Akira and Clockwork Orange as well as building my (Biffy's) own personal BATTLEMOON. It was animated at Private Island and was a metric tonne of fun to make. 

“This track is seriously big and called for a video to match. So we decided there was only one thing for it – a psychedelic shape-shifting journey of woman and wolf that blasts from the beginning of time to the distant future.”
