building narrative

Cicada coordinated casting and creative direction for a green screen video shoot to best capture the characters immersed in the future spaces of the new building. By using a motion-controlled camera slider system, movement in the green-screen shoot was tracked then transferred to the digital scenes, giving a more immersive sense of the spaces and an overall dynamic experience to the video.
