Invasion is a graphic and sensory experience that is rare to realize. When Ugly Mac Beer came to see Hugo Ramirez, then director at Studio Mustache, was born a unique animation project. First, the project was written and built by a classic storyboard. The cynical and insolent concept of making the clip by hijacking rushes of several midnight movies from the 60s to the 80s came next. This approach came to the idea of Hugo when student, for fun, he hijacked pornographic film sequences to create strange test animated sequences. This time, it is about the end of the human species that would be caused by humans. A contagious and irreversible self-destruction leading men to their disappearance. When the idea was definitely chosen, he made a montage based on his storyboard. Then with his team, he embarked on the painting of the image by image. In total, more than 5000 images were needed to complete this project. In parallel, the musician UGLY MAC BEER reworked his piece to make a remix that could harmonize perfectly with the image. So this is a creative ping pong game that was put in place. The film has been awarded and selected in several international festivals.
