Overview
The brief.
Weda Mauve’s “Distraction” explores a cinematic visual world built around performance, atmosphere, and surreal imagery. The music video combines live-action footage with CG elements to create a dreamlike environment that shifts between intimate and dramatic moments. My role focused on the CG and visual execution, developing and integrating digital elements into the live-action footage to support the overall visual language of the film.
The Challenge
Building atmosphere around the performance.
The visual direction relied heavily on a dark, cinematic atmosphere, with the car, road, and surrounding environment becoming important elements within the narrative. The challenge was integrating CG and visual effects into these low-light scenes while keeping the live-action performance feeling natural and grounded.
Each shot needed to maintain a strong sense of depth, lighting, and scale without losing the surreal quality of the imagery.
the solution
Extending reality through CG.
I developed and integrated CG elements into selected live-action scenes, using compositing, lighting, and environmental details to expand the world around the performance.
The approach focused on keeping the CG grounded within the existing cinematography while pushing the atmosphere through contrast, scale, and surreal visual moments. This helped create a cinematic visual language that moves between realistic environments and more dreamlike imagery.
