Modest Mouse's music video for Dashboard spins a "big fish story" about encountering a mythical sea creature.

​​

Magnus Rex was tasked with storyboarding and visually developing this surreal nautical world, driven by lead singer Isaac Brock’s vision and directed by Grady Hall and Motion Theory.

The “big fish,” with silver speaker cone scales, symbolizes music’s omnipresence, pulling Brock underwater. He surfaces to find a surreal island made of discarded audio equipment, where music infuses every aspect of the environment.

This imaginative landscape helped the video garner over 20 million views.
