The Prodigy - One Love music video


Director: Paul Simpson and James Boty at Hyperbolic Systems
Producer: Hyperbolic Systems

The Prodigy's "One Love" video was created by Paul Simpson and James Boty from Hyperbolic Productions in 1993. This is a sequence of 3D computer graphics routines with the usual feast of rotations, texture-mapping and rendering, all running very smoothly on a monster of a computer! Anyway, enough of the technical stuff. There is not much to the video at all, and you only get to see a few quick shots of the band dancing alongside some tribal 3D characters, but it least it marked a change from the rave videos that preceded it.

In interviewed by MTV in October 1993, Paul says: "We had 5 weeks to do the video, which is not enough time - basically, with about 20 minutes per frame we are talking about 2 hours per second on computers. What we can actually do is not really limited by our imagination, it's limited by the time and money that we actually get to do this projects"

The Prodigy themselves did not have that much involment in the making of the video. The only thing the band had to do was to spend an afternoon in the studio dancing. Keith Flint: "They got us into a blue screen box and pictured us dancing with the sound on basically, and then they moved on the graphics onto it".
