Future Islands video rendered in Corona

[samjmason]

I did this video alone during quarantine with corona renderer. Thought I should share here!

I learned a lot in terms of production with big massive sets using corona. One of the biggest difficulties for me on this one was dealing with Forest Pack slowdowns that seem to be a new issue (recent few versions). Vray doesn't have the same issue. There's a big loss of interactivity. But Corona was amazing otherwise. One other issue was a difficult thing not having Tyflow work with instancing while using corona. Let me know if you have questions about the process, happy to answer!!

No Human stunt drivers were hurt in the making of this movie :)
Great job ...like the song too.

This is absolutely amazing! Is it 100% Corona without other renderers? Is it 100% CGI or some live footage used?

Amazing work! Would you like to share some wireframes and raw renders?

Crazy good, I really like it! Not only the technical side, but also the whole aesthetic.
I did play around with animating cars in a relatively big scenes a while ago. How did you animate the cars? Did you use a plugin?
And can you tell about rendertimes and how long you worked on it?

Edit: Just checked your website, amazing stuff!

Absolutely outstanding work - it really shows what is possible for one artist when they have the right tools. As previous comments too - great direction, post production - the full package.

Absolutely in love in this clip. Watched like 10 times in a row. Awesome execution and music !
A question though - how you tackled the fog in sequences where camera enters the volume without it disappearing ? Is this added in post somehow ?
