Shinen - 3D MV

Collaborative 3D music video for Kafu's "Shinen"

Overview

This is an original 3D music video based on the song 深淵 by 異世界情緒 and 花譜 (two of my fav singers :3).

I had the pleasure of working with 3 other artists on this project! Since this was our first attempt at making a 3D rendered video, while making it we were also exploring our methods of collaboration and the different parts of the pipeline.

Everything is rendered in Blender Cycles (well, except the 2D part) and compiled in DaVinci Resolve.

Personally, I experimented a lot with procedural volume shaders, using them to create some atmospheric feel (and the nebula). This was also my first time doing an actual animation, as I primarily worked on still renders in the past. It was really fun doing the cinematography part and imagining each camera movement in my head before executing it. Anyways, hope you enjoyed the video!

My Contributions

Scenes I contributed (everything unless specified):

  • Clock scenes
  • Lantern scene
  • Hallway scene (lighting, volumetric nebula)
  • Star Rail scene (concept inspired by @cmzwart)
  • Cinematography for all shots (with the exception of the 2D animated one), color grading, compilation
