Pinkpantheress music video 'Girl Like Me' VFX by 21-year-old Michos
Pinkpantheress's new music video for 'Girl Like Me' was created with 21-year-old Polish VFX artist Michos. The video draws inspiration from the rhythm game Rhythm Heaven, blending real footage with 3D elements in Blender. Michos, who previously worked on gaming videos, was recruited by Neuron Studios and collaborated with director Lauzza (Laurie Lotus). The video features surreal scenes like escalators made of piano keys and a constantly moving street scene. Communication happened over Discord, with the team relying on 'micro-sleeps' to meet deadlines. The result is a hyperactive, Gen Z aesthetic that also nods to Cyriak's GIFs and Sugababes' music videos, with a cameo from Davina McCall. Pinkpantheress, the 25-year-old British Producer of the Year 2026, continues to refine her visual identity.
