The Comet Is Coming 'Technicolor' by Charlie Robins
Rob Ulitski - 12th Sept 2022
Charlie Robins directs a hypnotic promo for The Comet Is Coming.
Unabashedly wild and atmospheric, the visual sees a small group of people driven insane by an enigmatic force, visualised in the form of a circle.
Kept purposefully vague, Robins combines live action with elements of animation, demanding viewers to come to their own conclusion as to what's happening. One thing's for sure, it's not your everyday scenario.
"This was always going to be pretty nuts," says Robins. "I had a great conversation with the band about the new album called Hyper Dimensional Expansion Beam. That name was enough of a jumping off point, and I just threw a load of crazy shit at it. It felt right to be weird and post-apocalyptic but also disorientating and fucked up. I wanted to make people feel a bit sick in all honesty.
"The music is so crazy yet intricately put together, there is something beautifully chaotic about it which fit very well with some post and camera techniques I’ve been developing for a while.
"I worked very closely with the immense team at Agile (particularly the post guys!) to make this film happen. What a seriously talented, generous and wonderful bunch of humans they are."
