Breakdown / BTS "Trickle Down" - Music Video VFX Breakdown (Blender, After Effects, and Resolve - no AI)

Smoke sim done with Embergen :)

A VFX breakdown from my music video "The River, the Shore".

2+ years in the making, the full music video combines real footage with Blender composited in After Effects and Resolve - with many of the scenes being fully CG!

Full music video in the link below:

Let me know what you think :)

Disagree. Looks really nice. Believable exposure imo. Tasteful composition, gradation, silhouetting.

You can’t even tell what it is. Bad silhouetting.

Really impressed with this whole video. The imagery is so striking and evocative. Please make a breakdown of the whole thing. I would love to learn how you pulled it off!
