This 3D-animated music video was created for sabw's track elephant from the album completed disillusionment. In collaboration with HODWORKS, we recorded a two-hour dance performance featuring the company‘s dancers, Imola Kacsó and Márton Gláser, under the direction of Adrienn Hód.
We processed the multiview footage (27 cameras) to extract rigged avatars and digitally reconstruct the dancers’ movements. The resulting motion sequences were then composited into a surreal, eroding digital environment.
Conceptually, the video illustrates how ephemeral gestures accumulate over time, gradually reshaping and consuming their surroundings—leaving both subtle and profound traces of life.
contributions:
I led this project, overseeing its conceptual, visual, and technical development and execution. In addition to creative leadership, I played a central role in the technical development—from coordinating the multiview capture of the dance performance to extracting the performers’ movements. During the post-production work, I managed the team working on the reconstruction clean-up and 3D prop development. I was responsible for building the environment, compositing the dancers in 3D, and creating particle simulations. Finally, I managed the rendering part of the project as well, including scene optimization, lighting, and export.
