Here’s a behind the scenes look at the meticulous creation process behind Kanye’s upcoming music video for “Power.” Produced by The 88, you can read their full description down below.

POWER shows a continuous camera move from extreme close-up of Mr. West revealing an a neoclassical video tableau showing characters and creatures surrounding him in an abstract environment – all moving in extreme slow motion.

Inspired by Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux historical moment – an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption.

The video will make it’s debut tomorrow on MTV at 11pm eastern standard time.
