This project was unique in many ways, and since it was a one shot performance, everything needed to be consistent and perfect. Our main goal was to give the illusion that the visual effects used during his performance were practical projections that displayed across the city scape. To accomplish this, we had to hand track thousands of frames of footage while also mapping out every square inch of the landscape, down to the inset window sills on the commercial and residential high rise buildings. It was necessary for us to recreate the scene, or else the visuals would have felt flat and rendered unrealistic.

Our recreation of the city scape also allowed us to clean up any buildings that needed retouching, add in 3D signage and 3D cars where needed, clean up any shadows from the cameras, rebuild any part of the environment that required it, and include 3D light poles rotomation. We created the simulation of glowing orange and purple that is seen spreading across the buildings and under Giveon. The depth and attention to detail was a key component in ensuring the realism of the video so that it could match the feeling of the song and the emotion of Giveon’s performance.
