This project was different in many ways. It was a one-shot so everything needed to be perfect and consistent. The main goal was to give the illusion that the effects during the performance were practical projections displayed across the city scape.To create this, we had to hand track thousands of frames of footage and map out every square inch of the landscape down to the inset window sills on the commercial and residential high-rises. Without taking the time to recreate the scene, the visuals would have felt flat and rendered unrealistic. The depth of detail was key in the realism to match the feeling of the song and Giveon’s performance.
We worked through many versions, trying to land on effects that felt fitting but also cool and unique. The light trails explode into clouds of color and then into a smoke effect. As the camera moves and surrounds Giveon, the visuals move higher up the buildings till we land on the sky and move through a timelapse.
