World renowned electronic artist deadmau5 is fan-sourcing his next music video, collaborating with creators on Manticore’s world creation platform Core. Beginning today, Core creators will create dystopian worlds to help make a brand new music video for deadmau5’ upcoming single “When The Summer Dies” with musician, singer and songwriter, Lights.
“I’ve been blown away by the creativity I’ve seen on Core,” said Joel Zimmerman, better known by his stage name, deadmau5. “Some of my passions are game, experience, and world design, and Core’s capabilities as a platform and its creators who are capable of doing all kinds of cool stuff are the next level in user generated art and experiences. I’m looking forward to checking out what fans and artists will create for my new single with Lights.”
In order to take part in the deadmau5 x Core Dystopian Worlds Collab Jam, anyone can build a world on Core and submit their entry online at deadmau5.coregames.com July 15 - July 26, 12 p.m. PDT, and winners will be announced July 29.
