Apashe 'Revenge Of The Orchestra' by Adrian Villagomez
David Knight - 31st Aug 2023
Following his cinematic video for Gasoline, Adrian Villagomez reunites with genre-bending producer Apashe (aka John de Buck) for a new, wonderfully imaginative and nailbiting visual, that utterly reflects the name of the track.
The visual for Revenge Of The Orchestra features Apashe sitting in a smoke-filled room, surrounded by the broken remains of a brass orchestra before the instruments come to life, congeal together and transform into a series of creatures - and finally a huge, terrifying monster.
Then the chase is on... and an unlikely yet pulsating action sequence develops, executed with terrific visual flair. Will Apashe pay for his dismissive behaviour towards his old orchestra? His fate is observed throughout by the God-like presence of Magugu - the Nigerian singer who guest vocals on the track - who appears to be directing the action.
As well as Villagomez demonstrating another string to his directing bow, incorporating live action with 3D animation with consummate skill, a lot of credit goes to VFX supervisor and 3D artist Josué Zabeau for this achievement. He, Villagomez and John De Buck worked together on developing the concept. The outcome is a genuine thrill.
