"Bluest Flame" is an exciting journey through the experience of falling in love. The passion, the electric emotion and the tender touch.
Using a fragment of the song, "Bluest Flame", it conveys this beautiful feeling into image.
The visuals are made to be immersive, and designed to be projected in a real venue in Mexico City. The project comprises only the visuals themselves.
"Bluest Flame"'s aesthetic is inspired by the official music video of the same name. The footage was recorded using the shaky camera technique, as well as zoom effects. The project features a warm color palette, reminiscent of the music video.
The journey in 3 parts:
The opening. That special someone's touch can be the most intimate thing in the universe.
Footage of hands were used to convey the feeling of closeness and warmth.
This first part was conceived as flat, not immersive, as it serves as a dramatic beginning, guiding the viewer's eye across different walls alongside the song, while creating anticipation and curiosity for what's to come.
Particles created in Notch follow the slow-motion movement of the hands.
When you feel love, it can feel like fireworks, a blast of energy.
This second visual features immersive shooting stars created in Notch, evoking the surrounding emotion of pure joy and excitement. Two hands touch, enhancing this electrifying connection.
We should talk!
Would love to hear from you.
Spending time with that special someone is a language of love, and most of all, connection. It feels whole, absolute, just like the universe.
This third visual begins with an immersive audio-reactive glowing galaxy, created in Notch. It encompasses the viewer completely.
Then, just as it appears that nothing else will happen, an immersive collage surprises the viewer. This collage, made in After Effects, is composed of snippets—little quotidian moments that are home to something bigger and, most of all, beautiful.
