“SKYFALL” | Created by Mathi & Reijy
for @OurTrueFate / @NorCal
Let's get to the fun part! Or rather... THE TIRESOME ONE :)
Yes, Skyfall's name comes from the movie Skyfall. Yeah... how creative! But that movie was actually our main inspiration for creating this montage. We tried to take that style and incorporate it into our video, reshaping and adapting it to fit the content, and finally adding a killer song. I assure you, it wasn't easy.
Here's a quick VFX breakdown to show you the process.
I must admit, I have a bit of an obsession with these things, and you'll soon discover just how deep it runs.
TWO shots. ONE big problem.

I love compositing, it's probably my favorite stage, it always adds that magic to everything.

I created custom assets to enhance certain scenes and add a sense of cohesion to the overall video. As the theme involved cards and buildings, I opted for these types of assets, which ultimately made the clips more interesting and creative.
So how can we make a cool transition to divide the two parts?
Well, with some 3D!
“referenceS”
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 & Spider-Man: No Way Home were our inspirations for this part. While I directed the scenes, @reijy executed them flawlessly. Finally, I took care of the compositing and color grading to bring it all together.

Earlier I mentioned that breakdowns were my obsession. I warned you.
Let's talk about the thumbnail in detail and examine the various steps.
