ODDKO “Black Bear Don’t care”

In ‘Black Bear Don’t Care,’ our video production embraces ODDKO’s concept of surreal, evolving journeys. Reflecting the track’s dream-inspired, non-linear narrative, we aimed to create a visual experience as open-ended and mind-bending as the music itself. It’s a visual exploration of the surreal, designed to complement and extend the listener’s imagination into an unpredictable and imaginative realm.

We harnessed Midjourney for creative concept and AI image generation. This involved crafting a plethora of stills, refined through extensive image blending, inpainting editing and color correction. Essential tools from Topaz Labs, aescripts + aeplugins, and Adobe suite were pivotal in realizing this immersive, surreal journey.
