We collaborated with our good friends at Extreme Arts + Science on a series of Microsoft Software + Services videos. Each video showcased futuristic interactive devices and conceptual daily uses. In this case study, AE+S wrote, filmed and edited. UI, motion design, and visual effects were developed by Deep Sky with some inspiration from “Minority Report”.
We wireframed the user interaction based on the script through Powerpoint. From there we design and map out basic gestures for the director and actors – saving producers time during the shoot. All UI was animated in 4K allowing for close-ups and perspectives.
Final edit and raw plates were provided in 2k RED where we tracked and replaced device screens and backgrounds. Additional tasks included: research, UI design, pre-vis, rotoscoping, 3D tracking, screen replacements, object removal, compositing and motion graphics.
