The Seige - Back Up (CG Parts only)
The LA based hip hop duo The Seige asked me to create some CG sequences for their music video for the song "Back Up".

Funnily they accidentally never used the latest version of the renders I've sent them, instead a lowres preview render with lots of popping and other issues made it into the final music video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The animations of the faces and the LED Walls on the background were done in After Effects, I animated the dance choreography and camera transitions in C4D and rendered it on Octane. There was not enough time to render actual volumetrics so I faked those in AE by using the 3D camera data to create accurate masks for the LED Walls and Trapcode Shine for some god rays.
Kerim Camdzic helped with the facial animation for the 2nd Bridge, Nikita Shestakov helped out with the modelling of the robotic arms on the first shot, Marco Gifuni provided me the rigged model. Thanks guys!
