ABOUT

'Still Optimist' is a two-person band (Bina Timurova and Mihaly Sipos), producing rather moody and atmospheric electronic music. This is their first video clip. I was responsible for the full creative direction and production. The design had had to be re-purposed for various social media platforms, including, GIFs for promotion, the grid for Instagram, Facebook and album cover artworks, etc.The edit and the first phase of masking/keying were made in Davinci Resolve. There were additional masking and alpha fine-tuning in After Effects.The 3D parts were created in Cinema4D, rendered with Octane. For the particle simulations, I used xParticles.The CGI shots then were completely re-timed in Davinci again and the brought into AE where the live footage and the CGI shots were ironed together.
