San Francisco is home to many edgy CG studios, including Little Red Robot, which recently completed an all-CG music video rendered entirely with NVIDIA Gelato rendering software for the new Capitol Records recording artist "Hurt."

Not interested in creating "yet another typical CG music video," the artists at Little Red Robot found their visual inspiration for the video from Hieronymus Bosch’s epic, 16th century painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” Working closely with the NVIDIA Gelato team to render the HD-resolution elements and optimize the rendering speed, Little Red Robot was able to put their own unique spin on music video creation, while delivering on a tight deadline.

Check out the "Making Of" movie below, which covers character and look development, 3d animation, and visual eff ects techniques used in creating the video.
