Mastermind James "Perturbator" Kent hits us with an exceptional animated video for his second single "Sentient". Each scene was designed and animated pixel-by-pixel by director and animator Valenberg, hypnotizing viewers into Perturbator's universe - one heavily influenced by the tropes of classic cyberpunk, horror, and science fiction. The sci-fi short film and song combine with sleek emotions and sensations akin to the arthouse thriller Drive, as well as Blade Runner, the films of Dario Argento, and the illustrations of Ariel Zucker-Brull (Perturbator's visual artist).
"Sentient" debuted over at The Creators Project who delved behind the scenes on the video's making and the concepts behind it; read it all here.
