The CAPGRAS Project
"You're trying to replace yourself, huh?"
This project is a music video created by a group of students led by Maxfield Bishop from Columbus College of Art & Design. The animation was done to the song Mr. Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity by Will Wood and the Tapeworms, with the artist's permission. The music video is approximately 3 minutes long and follows the journey of a graverobber who gets in over their head and has to survive a gauntlet of wacky and deadly traps. Work on the project was started by Maxfield in the Spring of 2022, and was completed in May of 2023.
​
I was brought onto the project in the Fall of 2022. My job was creating props and background objects for different scenes. This included the concepting, modeling, UV unwrapping and texturing of each object. Most of the parts I worked on were for the graveyard scene, the truck crash scene, and the barbershop scene.

Video soon to-be-released publicly.
