Synopsis

A frantic, psychedelic animation unfolds as a prehistoric world erupts into a barrage of creatures, jaws, claws, tongues, teeth, and violent transformations. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video moves through a rapidly mutating chain of images, with dinosaur-like forms and grotesque cartoon figures appearing, colliding, and disappearing in time with 16bit's punishing dubstep track. Its relentless editing and saturated colors create the sensation of an animated fever dream, turning the title into a short, chaotic trip through primal imagery.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Dinosaurs" was released through MTA Records on August 29, 2011, as part of a release paired with "Boston Cream."

• The track is a five-minute dubstep production, while the accompanying video is a much shorter animated piece of roughly two minutes.

• The animation was built using Adobe Flash and After Effects, combining frame-by-frame work with interpolated movement and digital post-production.

• The production was completed in about one week, with the animation made during long day-and-night sessions.

• The visual concept began with a drawing of a mouth full of teeth. From there, the imagery developed through spontaneous drawing and animation rather than a conventional, fully plotted storyline.

• The production team was associated with Colonel Blimp and Blinkink, companies known for distinctive animated and experimental music-video work.

• Contemporary coverage described the result as "sort of an epileptic trip," an apt description of its strobing transitions, abrupt mutations, and deliberately overwhelming visual rhythm.

• The video became one of the more widely circulated visual pieces connected with the aggressive early-2010s dubstep scene, helped by its official release through UKF Dubstep.
