Nine Inch Nails — Hurt (Song Exploder)

[Music Video] · Director + Animator

2020 · Human Person

The first music video ever made for 'Hurt' — 26 years after the song's release, created for Netflix's Song Exploder. A study in decay: practical effects shot with a probe lens tracking through acetone-melted styrofoam and the pulsing liquid of cracked LCD screens, blended with CG.

Press: Rolling Stone, Pitchfork. First-ever video for the song. Full process breakdown on Peter Clark's site.
