He also worked with Olszewski in 2010 implementing a pioneering remote grading pipeline over a mobile phone network. Horrobin began his career following in Olszewski and Etherington’s footsteps as a runner before moving into grading in 1998. The appointments follow the company’s recent move to its fully equipped studios in Soho. Colorist Mark Horrobin, Flame artist Tim Davies and senior producer Andy Salem, all of whom joined from Tag Collective Arts, have previously worked with Creative Outpost co-founders Quentin “Q” Olszewski and Danny Etherington. This unique experience will remain etched in my career as a Flame artist.”Ĭreative Outpost, a London VFX/audio studio offering all aspects of audio and post production, has welcomed three senior creatives as part of its picture/VFX expansion. “Participating in the inauguration of this new venue was a real pleasure and an immense pride. “The fusion of 2D and 3D, crystallized in the final vortex, represents the culmination of this artistic experimentation, sublimating the incorporation of over 800 film clips to rotoscope, color grade, stabilize and integrate into the visual composition,” continues Baillia. The constant evolution of the project and this creative excitement encouraged us to push our boundaries. We progressed step by step so that every day a new artistic page turned, bringing us closer to the final result. Under the inspired guidance of Marco Brambilla and Stéphane Pivron, we created a tailor-made workflow for this project. Up to three people were added to work on After Effects, the machine on which we built most of the blocks that make up the final composition.”Īccording to Baillia, “This project gave us the opportunity to dive into a very different universe from traditional advertising. Given the magnitude of the project, we also had to scale the team accordingly, and we brought in Flame artist Alexis Baillia, who led the production. “Consequently, we had to develop a pipeline specific to the project to gain efficiency and fluidity. “The first technical challenge - the final projection resolution of 16Kx16K - required us to work in very high resolutions, posing enormous calculation and storage problems,” he continues. Marco wanted to assemble on Flame to take advantage of the machine’s native 3D space and its responsiveness. Once the creative euphoria subsided, we moved on to production. “This gigantic composition contains over 800 video loops of less than three seconds, extracted from just as many different films, which, when assembled, form a construction whose primary inspiration is the film Metropolis. “We first discovered the artwork through an Adobe Photoshop composition: Las Vegas through the life of Elvis Presley, divided into six distinct parts corresponding to key stages of his life,” explains VFX supervisor Pivron. These fragments were then arranged to create a visual experience that reflects the life and impact of Elvis on the world. It includes over 800 video clips taken from Elvis’s films. To carry out this mission, Brambilla ( Demolition Man, Excess Civilization, Heaven’s Gate) wanted to create video art depicting Elvis’s life through six stages: Birth, Music, Vegas, Performance, Metropolis, Vortex.
Just the mention of Elvis Presley evokes images of his performances in Las Vegas, so it made sense for the director to use the icon’s aura as the central element. He worked Stéphane Pivron and Alexis Baillia, VFX supervisors at The Mill in Paris, to help bring his concept to life. For the grand opening of the Madison Square Garden Sphere in Las Vegas, artist and director Marco Brambilla created video art that pays homage to rock legend Elvis Presley.
