Daft Punk Helmet by Neal Coghlan

Daft Punk Helmet from Neal Coghlan on Vimeo.

One of the two Daft Punk Helmets animated to part of their track 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'



This animation was created over the Christmas holiday period of 2007/08. I was using it as a test to see how I could link audio to layers in After Effects - this was all keyframed manually for accuracy.



In one of the sections for the tracks, each colour panel of the helmet represents one of eight notes. A photo of the notes I made detailing the colours can be seen below.



One of my future projects is to take this a step further and create a 3D model of the helmet and render out multiple channels to create a much richer and more interesting look to it (and animate it to the entire song as well).
