Dynamic, colourful patterns represent the way organisms interact and evolve in the visuals for Max Cooper’s latest music video, which was directed by Maxime Teresuac.

The video came about after Cooper, a London-based producer, contacted a number of motion designers to create visuals for his new album, giving each a different brief. Order from Chaos was the track given to Melbourne-based Teresuac.
“This track uses a binaural sample of rain hitting my window, where the rain hits are obviously random, but I then force the hits towards a grid so that a pattern emerges from the raindrops based on their closest structure,” explained Cooper in his brief.
“It’s an emergent rhythm which I would like to mirror somehow in the visual, with an initially detailed and chaotic form which slowly develops into something with recognisable structure.”
Using Houdini, a 3D animation program, he created colourful, dynamic visuals against a black backdrop, intended to represent the “beauty of life”.
“It talks about emergence and tries to show the beauty of life, the birth of a simple plant from a seed.
Throughout the video, microscopic-looking shapes in bright neon colours morph and move. At one point they transform into jellyfish, and eventually flowers.
“It’s inspired by how things interact and evolve,” added the producer.
