Geronimo
Simon Stålenhag has built a reputation as artist and author of several acclaimed art books, including “Tales from the Loop” and “Things from the Flood”, where he’s invites the readers to an alternative reality where robots and sci/fi elements walk hand in hand with ordinary everyday life.
With the video for the song “Geronimo” by Duvchi (feat. Nadia Nair), Simon Stålenhag makes his directorial debut, and Goodbye Kansas worked closely with him to bring his unique visual style to the screen.
The work included creation and animation of the CG head and hands of the main character and underwater sceneries featuring several mysterious extinct creatures.
