Waiting For The End is a 2010 music video by Linkin Park for their 4th album, A Thousand Suns. The video is an experimentation of composting, animation, 3-D tracking and design by a company called Ghost Town Media.

The video is created using a layered effect by putting the clips through several times into software, to get the broken look and the "burst" effect from the video. The blue-hue toned colour is then placed over the top finally. Sytheneyes is used to attach objects to the band members, particularly the 3-D enhancements and geometric lines.
I selected the video because of the special effects used, they remind me of constellations especially in the way the geometric lines pan out across the band members; I wanted to re-create this for my own work, possibly looking at doing something similar for photographs or a map of myself, looking at Grayson Perry for inspiration.
Similarly, Gabriel from itsknowone, created and collaborated with Ghost Town to create the SFX for their concerts for the A Thousand Suns Tour, and the video. Although they don't align with the music, I like the broken effect from them and the repeated use of overlapped videos. Gabriel has also worked alongside Marvel for the Captain America videos.
