Beach Coyotes - “Debt to Settle”

Beach Coyotes - “Debt to Settle” (Single)

Software: After Effects CC / Cinema 4D / Illustrator CC

In February of 2020, my band Beach Coyotes entered the studio to record our debut EP - “Debt to Settle”. We finalized the mixing process the weekend prior to Covid-19 shutting down the entire world. It was a very surreal experience by the time we got the tracks mastered and were ready to promote.

I created this visual for the second single - the song is about grappling with mortality, choices, mistakes, and the dark nights you wish didn’t haunt you anymore. In the larger analogy that the EP touches upon, death is the final debt you must settle. So it made sense to use the skull imagery with the hand as if it’s weighing on matters of fate.

Both assets were modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D and composited in After Effects.
