I've already shared this on the Maxwell Twitter but as I did it with the Softimage plug I might as well share it here.

Me and two other guy did this low budget (but still vfx-heavy) music video that was released yesterday. Hope you like it.

Fungus time!

Really nice CG, can you describe the shots a bit more?

Did you use any of Eric Mootz plugins for the "pixel explosion" effects?

Thanks, guys!

Mihai: I built an ICE compound that could convert any given mesh to small cubes and then copied the result into an empty polymesh. By doing this I could camera project the old image on the pixel/voxel-mesh and break it up with the help of Exocortex Momentum which has a nice feature called "deform bodies". I used Eric's emTopolizer for the blood when the guys hand gets shot off. Other than that everything was pretty straightforward.
