Making of ‘Ain’t Right’ Comodoro by Dinamo Digital

The Brazilian rock band Comodoro have last month released their new video single ‘Ain’t Right’ by Dinamo Digital.

In the project, the director Ricardo Carelli wanted to experiment using different techniques and approaches. “He recreated Oscar Niemayer’s built-from-scratch city of Brasilia in miniature complete with drive-in cinema, airport and bridges. But then has it terrorised by giant scorpions with formidable firepower in their sting, which is kinda cool! The band from Sao Paulo cite their inspiration from such legends as Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag.” Huck Magazine Written by Ed Andrews. It took 6 months to get it done, between many other projects. They have spent 10 days in the studio shooting and animating. Dínamo Digital is one of the Brazilian creation agencies most respected in the animation segment and motiongraphics.
