Videri approached me with a request to make photo-realistic CGI models of their Spark Series screens. Armed with perfect models, we then cranked out two product showcase videos.
You will notice this video has no audio. They wanted to use it without audio. That said, I will probably go back and do a director's cut with some thump at some point. This video is comprised mostly of CGI shots, but a few live action shots have been stitched in to help round out the story.
Videri wanted to show how their displays can be creatively tiled and used in a number of live event settings. This video utilizes a mixture of CGI shots and live action stock, just like the previous video.
When working with stock video, I like to have the stock influence the 3D scene, and then let the 3D scene influence the stock. I adjust them toward each other so that they gel in the edit. The real footage helps to sell the CGI if they match closely enough.
Each display was meticulously modeled down to the smallest details. We wanted to build assets that you could create just about anything from.
I created a shader in Blender that separates an image input into the actual RGB pixels of the screen. It is also built to accurate scale. Any image that you input will be split into pixels. So if you zoom way in on the screen, you will see the pixels just as you would in the real world.
Part of the genius of these displays is their extremely low mounting profile. I modeled the rear details to help with showcasing how the mount works. Speaking of the mount...
Here is their lovely 'X' mount. Modeled to accurate scale from schematic drawings, this mount sits flat against the wall. The screen fastens to the mount and those circular contact points in the center transfer power to the screen via a very thin cable. Cool huh?!
