Director Biography - Evan Carter

Illustration, design, VR filmmaking, videography, animation, and even live analog visuals are central to Evan Carter's work. Including independent projects and commercial work for entities such as SONY.

Evan is a Swiss Army Knife of textures, mediums, and techniques with the common theme of psychedelia in color and dreamlike nature.

As a child, Evan began his journey in stop-motion with his LEGOs, and in adolescence moved to 2D animation, psychedelic artwork, as well as creating short films inside VR that were released online.

During his time in the VR film scene, he gained a following of various volunteers and passionate people from all over the world who collaborated as actors or other crew in his films.

In college, while working on his documentary VR: A Digital Frontier, Evan picked up live-action videography and quickly got various jobs filming events or for local short films.

Director Statement

Witchcraft is a love letter to King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard and Jason Galea who has been the mind behind most of their music videos. Jason and I share a lot of the same mediums in our work from analog work, 2D animation, and live-action videography which all have a part in the making of this music video.

King Gizzard with their catalog of bootlegs and live albums that are completely free to use and copy is a testament not only to the use of art but to allowing others to create off their works.

The recording of this video comes from their live performance at The Salt Shed in Chicago which I attended. I knew immediately after hearing this song live that I had to make this music video, and I had a blast creating this in virtual reality with my friends using motion capture.
