lil nas x panini.

with a summer hit and a great concept, lil nas x’s cyber futuristic music video for panini was for sure to turn a few heads. chimney la and lord danger gave me the opportunity to build all the cityscapes for multiple shots in the music video. a favorite of mine was recreating the ‘7’, his ep album cover in full 3d.

once i had finished building out and rendering the initial shot, the team became excited as it set the mood for the additional cityscape shots throughout the music video.

layout & look development.

custom textures and luminescence shaders were used to give the city life. using volumetrics helped add another layer of depth and ultimately set the moody tone we were looking for.

multiple structures were modified from in-house modeling libraries, new features were added and others removed, while also adding futuristic elements on top of older looking structures for a more lived in city look.
