RIOT, an electronic dance music group known for their incredibly precise sound design (according to Skrillex), came to us with an idea for a story that “motif’d” each song on their album. We took their isolated stories and adapted them into a cohesive longer form narrative.
An adventurer in the 1930s by the name of Raymond Colt II discovers a buried fortress frozen in ice and time. Colt awakens an ancient alien technology known as Deinos, that had been in slumber for millennia.
More than a century later, Deinos now rules over mankind in totality. But a resistance endures. This rebel group of scientists and militants led by Stella & Raymond Colt V, look to undo the horrors that beset their society when their Great Great Grandfather accidentally activated “The Machine”.
A transmedia experiment, taking the tone and views of the album and transfusing it into a visual medium.
with the most views of any video to date for the Riot group, the comic, animations and motion comic served as stellar expression to the bands ideals.
