It made me look into the making of the visual elements [0] and a more technical look here [1] of the short film "Paths of Hate".

Given some (or all?) of the elements are 3D models, that would make a great experience in VR.

Would it be possible to have it as a VR music video?, or do those compositing shots/passes mean you wouldn't see the same thing? Amazing how creative people are... and how much work goes into such work.
