Machine Gun Kelly - papercuts

For Machine Gun Kelly's Paper Cuts, we connected performance shots with surreal animated sequences using transitions built through compositing and 3D animation. Roto was used to isolate and integrate elements, helping the paper-cut motif feel physical within the scenes. The sequence with the pink guitar and surrounding smoke was built with layered compositing, water simulation, and wire clean-up. Color grading pushed the contrast between the darker performance moments and the more abstract visuals.
