Cohort B — "Yee Yee"

As a fan of Cohort B, this project was a labor of love that I was lucky enough to get paid for. That being said, making a music video on my own was no small feat, and there were quite a few challenges to work through. The band wanted an abstract, mind-bending video where effects were aggressively layered on top of one another as the video progressed, creating a sense of chaos building. This presented challenges both creatively and computationally: I had to strike a balance between varied effects that massively distorted the image while keeping them tame enough that I could still render the scene on my computer. The real bottleneck was raw compute. Each draft took about 20 hours to render, assuming everything went right, which it rarely did, and the whole time my computer was screeching for mercy on full blast.
