Superexploder Crushes the Ba To Animate the Emergence Of Heavy Metal with Black Sabba s Tony Iommi For VH Claic

New York-based audio house SuperExploder's sound designer/mixer Jody Nazzaro teams up with VH1s Creative Department to visualize the birth of heavy metal in the animated short Fingers Bloody Fingers. Nazzaro crafted the sound design and mix for VH1 Classics interview with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, which was illustrated by Paul Blow and animated by Kee Koo.

In the short, Iommi's description of losing his fingers to a devastating machinery accident and his subsequent innovation and resourcefulness to continue to play the guitar is brought to life in comic-style animations. The graphic animations employ a simple color scheme infused with red to envision how Iommi's unique sound ignited the heavy metal genre as we know it today.

Notes Jim Fitzgerald, VH1 VP/Brand Creative, The VH1 creative team is very happy with the collaborative spirit that SuperExploder brought to the table for The Complete History of Heavy Metal Vol. 1 Fingers Bloody Fingers.' It really adds a new dimension to the narrative by bringing character, mood and tone and a touch of humor to the animation through expert sound design. The SuperExploder team is a pleasure to work with and clearly understands the benefits of collaboration and flow. This is a new creative relationship that we are all happy to have made.

Nazzaro's previous work for SuperExploder includes sound design for brands such as BMW, Comedy Central, Foot Locker, Pepsi and ESPN.
