Anthony Scott Burns Embraces A Brave Old World Of Science Fiction With EPOCH

Todd Brown, Founder and Editor
You may not know of Toronto based director Anthony Scott Burns just yet but if talent is any sort of harbinger of fame - which it, sadly, often is not - you will very soon indeed. Burns was recently brought on to create a music video for Paul Van Dyke's Eternity, a shoot for which he created a string of absolutely astounding images which he has since re-cut into a form a little more in line with his own vision, christening this new version Epoch.

Crumbling cities, lonely spacemen, robot samurai, and a retro-futurism that evokes the likes of Kubrick, Tarkovsky and other classic talents while putting his own unique voice on things, this is a simply spectacular piece of work. Check it below.
Around the Internet:
  • ikilledbambi

    would be a good music video for an alternative band

  • Mike Malackowski

    None of these images, provoctive though they might be, are sustained long enough to merit any comparison to Kubrick or Tarkovsky.

  • Wilson Huff

    Yeah, the guy seems to have talent but this is way too busy for its own good, even by music video standards. Production-wise it's amazing but this really doesn't tell us much about his talents as a director, let alone how he'd tell a story.

  • Wow... if I ever get to the point of making a Darkfell movie, I'd love to have this guy in on it. Just stunning.

    "this is a simply spectacular piece of work"...Is it?

    Haha, I like how I got 2 down arrows for providing helpful information. A couple of bright lads, I'm sure. ;)

  • Lapeyre

    But can he tell a story?

  • I've been emailing with him about some scripts he's writing. I certainly hope so because if he can get narrative and character right the visuals will be AMAZING.

    This is the guy that did that Tron fan film: http://vimeo.com/24927298

    Actually, Paul Van Dyk's music video was called Eternity. Here's the link to his official YouTube page to watch that footage in its original context in 1080p:

  • Thanks for that. Will tweak the text to reflect it.
