using x-particles i was able to lend a hand and create some pretty cool particle setups t be used in shakiras’ music video for ‘empire’. after some initial experiments, the look was quickly established.

all tracking was done using pf track in order to get a proper matchmoved camera that was then used in cinema 4d to integrate the particle systems with the on-set footage.
