Main Role: CG Designer.
For the 'ReVers3:x' music video, I was responsable for creating about half of the total scenes, excluding character animation. World and scene creation is always fascinating to me, especially when I have such creative freedom. I do enjoy collaborating with team members but, this time working alone gave me a good sense of responsability and the choice to make creative and techical decisions that have me happy with the final result.
Working with characters is never easy, but I was asked to work on the 'artist cover' that you can see on this page cover, posing the character in an interesting pose for the artist profile photo.
It turned out to be a really fun project, as always, Maxilla (AVO, director) gave me a lot of liberty to play around, and their creatives choices and direction are top-notch.
Here are some clips extraced from the music video.
The compositing and production was done by Maxilla (AVO).
My first proposal for the basement room was done in one day of work thanks to Sketchfab free assets, I will always recommend using them for a quick blockout of the scenes you are creating.
With good effort in lighting and having a general sense of composition, you can create compelling visual narratives that could be valid for final deliveries. Depending on the project, we don't always have the option to create all the assets from scratch.
