The guys over at Wreck Studios came over one day with an interesting project and presented us with a challenge we just couldn’t say no to. The project in hand was an ambitious 80′s inspired, sci-fi-futuristic-looking music video for the singer/songwriter Mattias Edlund’s single “Run”.The project was a big undertaking as all live action material would be filmed against greenscreen, relying heavily on post production to create the world around it.
The schedule was insane with a deadline set to just about 14 days, keeping in mind that a regular 45 second project of this magnitude often runs for 3-5 weeks. The music video is running at just under 4 minutes. This required the workload to be shared between the two studios (Stopp and Wreck) in order to make the deadline.
A big shout out goes to director Fredrik Forest who showed a great sense of vision, commitment, flexibility and priority, making it possible for the crew to manage this project and bring it all together in time.
Lead vfx Artist Marko Ljubez became creatively responsible for Stopp’s part of the work but also did all of the matte paintings (approx. 30 of them). Stopp delivered all the hangar/ship shots (except for interiors of the ship) as well as all the city-roof/cars-shots… and all was delivered on time thanks to the whole crew. Hope you enjoy it!
