Deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire – Monophobia
Put on your leopard speedos, Deadmau5 & Rob Swire are taking us to a pool party! A bit different pool party.
Wrapping up our Best VFX list with a bouncy music video ‘Monophobia’. They went really crazy on this one and we love it. Dancing mice, flying burgers, rainbows? You name it, they got it. If you think you’ve already been to the coolest party ever, we’ve got bad news for you. The odds are, it probably won’t top this insanity-filled rave. The audiovisual funhouse received a nomination back in 2019.
This video has Smearballs (Nick DenBoer) written all over it. Not only he did the animation/VFX but also takes the credit for production and co-direction (+ Kenny Hotz). Generic Versatility Animation is the company behind the production.
We recommend watching the video several times. There’s always something new catching your attention!
