Take a peek at my latest project, where I had a blast working on a short video and a bunch of static posts for the new BMW 4-Series Coupé. I did everything from creating animations, designing, lighting, handling materials, adding cool sounds, to wrapping it all up with post-production. It was a one-person show, and I'm pretty happy about how it turned out!
For this project, I drew inspiration from light painting photography to shape the aesthetic. I was captivated by the mesmerizing play of light and shadow in those artistic shots, and I wanted to infuse that same sense of intrigue into the BMW 4-Series Coupé visuals. It was all about capturing the dynamic interplay of light and darkness and giving the car a captivating, almost otherworldly glow.
So, here's the first peek at an initial proof of concept/test render. I really wanted the star moment of the video to be when the car takes the spotlight on the stage. It looked good, but I had this feeling that it needed a bit more excitement in the lead-up. So, I cooked up some shots that highlighted the car's familiar shapes, like the sleek headlights and the striking silhouette.
For this rough cut, I rendered it out with full materials and lighting at 720p and then de-noised and upscaled using Topaz Labs tools.
