BEHIND THE SCENES OF KANYE WEST'S “POWER” VIDEO

The 88 created a behind the scenes look at Kanye Wests “POWER” by Marco Brambilla.  This is an exclusive video showing never seen footage of the anticipated video before its official release.  
“POWER” shows a continuous camera move from extreme close-up of Mr. West revealing an a neoclassical video tableau showing characters and creatures surrounding him in an abstract environment - all moving in extreme slow motion.  Inspired by Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux historical moment - an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption.

This epic video mural contains over 300 individual channels of looped video blended into a multi-layered seamless tableau of interconnecting images that illustrate a contemporary, satirical take on the concepts of Heaven and Hell. This video is going to be crazy !!
