Big Bright Nothing music video
Analogue glitch music video directed for Cold Engines' rock opera based on Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall.
In September 2020, I was asked by Cold Engines to direct a video for Big Bright Nothing, the final single for their concept album, The Last Resort, a rock opera based on Paul Verhoven’s sci-fi classic, Total Recall.
The song focuses on Quaid as he questions whether his efforts to save Mars, the resistance and Melina were real, or figments of his ego trip at Rekall.
Using the Tachyons+ Dreamweapon, I distorted the real-life landscapes of Mars, the Rekall machine, and scenes with Melina to depict Quaid’s delusions and create a love letter to die-hard fans of the film.
