Everything is peaceful and idyllic in Sonja Rohleder's beautifully designed motion graphic video for German band Keimzeit's Junges Blut (Young Blood). But in turn, each countryside scene is affected by a cataclysmic act of God - a meteor strike, a giant wave, a hurricane...

There's undoubtedly a chilling aspect to the sight of a meteor exploding into mountain side, for obvious reasons. But Rohleder has made destruction beautiful by employing a limited palette of bright colours on a black background, working with the graphics primarily in After Effects. 

"I used a lot of different animation techniques, cut-out, rotoscoping, expression, key-frame animation, particles, shape animation all in 2D and a little 3D animation for the people floating in space," she told Dezeen Magazine. "That was a great way to work, because I never knew how I would accomplish the animation that I had in mind when I started the scene."
