Anuel AA, Bugatti Music Video
I was contacted by Droix Studios to collaborate on a music video for urban artist Anuel AA. They initially requested two completely different virtual sets and a selection of their favorite Fab assets. Once the team picked their preferred set, I handled the full optimization process to ensure smooth performance on the LED volume.
The song, titled Bugatti, features a beautiful green Bugatti Chiron. Because of the car’s highly polished paint, we experimented with multiple car placements to favor the camera angles and minimize unwanted reflections.
As ICVFX Supervisor, I worked closely with Droix Studios and the director to achieve the visual goals, running Unreal Engine with Mo-Sys Pro for camera tracking. This allowed for accurate parallax and seamless integration of real and virtual elements, resulting in a smooth, in-camera blend of live-action and digital environments.
One of the main challenges was the aliasing caused by the exterior fire escapes, made up of thin vertical bars, a tricky setup in virtual production since they tend to flicker even when increasing resolution, often at the cost of performance. Still, with Unreal Engine, there are always multiple alternatives to achieve the desired result.
