    Ghost Town Media, the artists who are involved with the visual effects of Linkin Park's music videos, have just released several videos that show how some of the shots in the Iridescent music video were put together. For those interested in the little details that go behind a Linkin Park music video, these may be worth your time.


    Ghost Town Media have released similar breakdowns in the past for the other Linkin Park videos from the A Thousand Suns cycle which you can check out below:

    The Catalyst and Waiting for the End
    Burning in the Skies

    Also, for those who don't remember, the guys from Ghost Town Media did a podcast with us a while back. If you're interested in that, you can listen to it HERE

    So...many...layers...

    It's interesting to see how they used the resources from the film, even though they had absolutely no logical sense being there. I mean, look at the "Brad's World" video. They slapped Bumblebee in there, upside down, cut out his body and just left his arm, tire, and door, and layered so much more that it made it look unique.

    Even if you don't like the video, these breakdowns will at least help you appreciate the work put into them.

    I love this breakdowns, and I love the work of Ghost Town Media on LP videos even more. I'm a multimedia designer, so I enjoy seeing this pieces of art and how they had been made. It's a mix of what I love with what I do.
