IT’S OUT! Head over to the Gorillaz YouTube channel now (link in bio) to watch the full film. This film is a true love letter to the golden era of 2D animation. We worked incredibly hard alongside Jamie Hewlett to make it as period-accurate as possible and, like all our projects, it was hand-drawn by an incredible team of artists. We even used a variety of practical effects in the film, which was a lot of fun to do. We had a brilliant time making this film and learnt a huge amount while studying the masters of the 60s and 70s. If you’ve been following the release of The Mountain, you know how special and meaningful this project is. We’re so proud to be a part of it and want to say a massive thank you to Jamie and Eleven Management for trusting us to tell this beautiful story. We couldn’t be prouder of the work we did together, and we're so happy to be sharing it with the world! #Gorillaz #THELINE #TheMountain

We did not hold back on the intensity of this film. But even when making a film THIS action packed, you need a moment to slow down to catch your breath. Even if only for a few seconds, this scene was the perfect moment for that. It’s one of the rare moments in the film where any character’s faces are shown. We wanted to take this moment to hint at a much bigger story and history by showing the faces of Ash and Garuda.

We created tension in this scene by building up the character’s movement until they battle. They start almost still, taunting each other. But if you’ve seen the whole film, you know what’s coming… We also wanted the animation to have a real sense of weight. Making Sirius and Orion larger than life. Their presence is that of stealth, strength and focus.

Noodle emerges from the pond and we see her all grown up! After stealing a flute player’s clothes, she hoists up her trousers and walks off with her chin in the air - absolutely feeling herself. This shot was a great opportunity to showcase the 60s style of animation we were referencing. With her clear expression of pride and swagger, her child-like cheeky nature sticks with her even once she’s aged.

These two shots were alllllll about contrast. Two versions of the same soul face each other. One of our must-haves going into this project was to create duality through our visual language in order to show these two versions of the same person, Sirius and Orion. We'd JUST seen Sirius and Orion shoot through the vacuum of space and crash into the planet Venus in an explosion of fire. So… we think at this moment, this first look, the stillness of their fixation on each other, says a lot. It’s no moment of light relief though, it really goes to show the power these two hold. That nothing from all this world shattering chaos and destruction makes them even flinch. Badass.

We’re so excited to share our latest work, marking our second collaboration with Warframe! It’s been such a rewarding experience, and a special shoutout to Rebb and the team for trusting us with this one. The music video follows the intense rivalry of Sirius and Orion, featuring a sick track from Erra. The battle we see is between Orion, in crimson and obsidian, and Sirius, in tsavorite and silver. It’s an epic, shonen-inspired music video, blending anime-style battles with serene moments in space. It’s super FX-heavy (one of our favourite things), and we move fluidly between character and FX animation to bring this dramatic, theatrical clash to life. We hope you love it as much as we loved making it!
