Itaki Design joined MOD and Chris Nalesnik to knock out a music video for Jay Rock and Kendrick Lamar. We had the task of creating several different worlds for them to live in. We used a ton of camera tracking and the use of a lot of 3D cards in Nuke to bring all the elements together.

I did the color correction. The original footage was shot on both a RED and a 5D. Somehow the RED footage had also turned green and the skin tones were all off. I finished the video in Hiero and did the color in Davinci Resolve.

E-Motion Studies is the baby of the first collaboration between Psychopia Pictures and itaki design studio. We shot the whole thing with a Photron super high speed camera. Each shot was taken at 1000 frames per second. We assembled everything in After Effects. The music was done by a band called Twittering Machine. Each musician was shown the video and played alone while watching the video. Mike Wright then blended the audio together into the crazy jazz that backs the movie.



We did all the visual effects including creating helicopters, birds, lightning and compositing everything together. The most interesting shot was the shot where they were in the split city with the curb separating the two different band set ups.
