Read the interview with Leandro Marini and Alexander MacLean on how the latest Music Video for Vale! ULB was done entirely in Live FX!

==> https://digitalmedianet.com/ulb-boom-boom-music-video-produced-with-assimilates-live-fx/

Leandro Marini, VP Supervisor and Post Lead at Feather & Cap says:
"Live FX was the central brain of the whole shoot, it would not have been possible without it. We used Live FX to not only drive the LED volume, but everything was composited LIVE, in realtime, from 6 premade animated layers. We prepped some assets and animations and then brought them into Live FX, composited, color graded, and polished them all live to camera. Live FX also drove our IBL Lights (which needed to be in sync with the animated backgrounds) and even served as the audio playback system at the same time, for the band. That's a lot to ask of one system! Live FX never dropped a frame the whole day. We ran it off of a relatively simple, single RTX3090 windows system with an sdi-card."

"On this project, sound sync, IBL and complex compositing, paint outs, realtime plugins, and especially color grading (the neon really had to be dialed carefully so as to be very colorful but not blow out the camera's sensor) all had to work together and I'm not aware of another software that can do that all in one system. Plus, it runs on hardware we already own. We literally just re-purposed one of our existing mid-level VFX systems that normally runs After Effects and Cinema4D."

"In the "storyline" part of the music video, everytime FRIKI is seen, it's a composite, as he wasn't there on the day. We could not have done this project without Live FX and even with these curveballs, we wrapped early both shooting days."
