Goldfrapp
Twist
A roller-coaster ride of red-hot fantasy-world erotica was CG animated at The Mill for the release of 'Twist', from the electronic music duo Goldfrapps Black Cherry album. The video was directed by H5, the French graphics and animation studio collective, working with producer John Payne for Black Dog Films.

The CG animation was rendered to look like traditional cell-shaded animation, and selected live-action footage of vocalist Alison Goldfrapp's teasing performance was treated in Flame to appear to be hand-drawn. Viewers hurtle through the promo's fantasy worlds in exhilarating but forever-unrequited pursuit of Alison.
A large team of Mill modellers and animators built and animated the worlds in super-fast time. Once the ride had been blocked out, H5 could edit sequences of Alison for Edwin So and his Flame team to treat. Colour illustrations added textures. Finally, animation and live action were composited in Flame and graded overall to blend the worlds into one another, and a process of glow and vignette added.
