This Björk music video, shot on location in Iceland, was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it debuted as part of a larger exhibition that closed this week. Director Andrew Thomas Huang and cinematographer Lasse Frank shot over three days in July 2014 in 4K with the Red Dragon. Autodesk products figured heavily in Wolf & Crow's post-production work, where Maya and Flame were used to realize the CG portion of the video, and in xRez Studio's photogrammetry, which drew on drone photography and laser scanning to recreate the topography of the location using ReCap, Maya, Memento, and Mudbox.
