How it worked
Shot flat, built in post.
01 · The footage
Performers, a green screen.
The performers were filmed against a green screen: a guitarist in one take, a woman in a patterned dress reclining in another. The raw files in our Frame.io project are the starting point you see in the sliders above.
02 · The key
The screen comes out.
We removed the green background from each take and cut the performers out cleanly, keeping their edges, hair and the guitar intact.
03 · The new world
A whole scene, built around them.
Behind and around the performers we built a new scene: a pink-and-violet sky of clouds with the woman lounging on a pink 3D-modelled seat, birds in the air and an airplane crossing the frame.
04 · The finish
Reviewed, then released.
Four cuts of the sequence went through review in our Frame.io project before the finished music video went live on YouTube.
