The Visual FX Process Behind The Chemical Brothers’ Wide Open Music Video

The Mill takes us behind the scenes to discuss their overall vfx workflow process methods, basically, how they composited a dancing robot into the Chemical Brothers music video: “Wide Open”. This Chemical Brothers Wide Open VFX breakdown shows the layered process behind that kind of shot: tracking a real dancer’s movement, building and rigging a CG robot suit around the performance, then matching lighting and shadow so the character reads as part of the same physical space as the live-action plate rather than pasted on top of it.
