Tino Kamal - VIP

Music Video

The work Stone Dogs handled on this project was crucial. Initially, they had to prepare the processed volumetric capture so the team at Prodigious were able to work with it and apply the complex VFX we all wanted to showcase. This required Stone Dogs finding a way to extract mattes from the unique UV's that were generated, and to then figure out a 2D workflow as opposed to the AR/VR path volumetric footage has most commonly been used for to date. This was a considerable undertaking for their team, and a required a lot of work. 

After the final video had been created - Camera Moves, CG, VFX, Grade - the footage went back to Stone Dogs. I worked closely with their talented team as they added some custom built lens flares, particle and glow effects and overall enhancement (to the already incredible looking work that came from Prodigious). They also spent time finessing Tino's edges and finally added some realistic film grain and the occasional light bleed to add the those tiny details that always elevate a piece of work. We spent a long(!) time getting the little things like glow around lights and the flares just right. It is such a pleasure for me to be able to collaborate with people who care so much about the details, and who have the passion and skill to refine a piece of work like this.
