At The Post, a digital effects studio formed by artist Wayne Shepherd, has created the music video for Aerosmith's song "Fly Away From Here." The Aerosmith project came to the company via noted visual effects supervisor Chris Watts. The video features 195 effects and CG shots, which were created in Henry. "This project was easily the most complex of my career and one of the most rewarding," said Shepherd. "With the computer animation and effects teams under one roof, we were able to deliver this effects-intensive music video in an incredibly short time frame. It was exciting to watch it all come together." Watts said, "Because it is a small company, you have direct access to key talent and the rest of the staff. With his business model, when you need a bigger team, Wayne has an excellent reservoir of talent and the space to add additional artists appropriate to the project." The video was directed and edited by Joseph Kahn. The computer animation was done by Westchester, California-based Strange Engine.
