client: Nero / Chase and Status

studio: Smudgethis

software: After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere

brief: Using an original episode of Cyber City OEDO 808, and with a very tight deadline, create an edit to accompany the new single 'Innocence' by Nero.

solution: The general narrative of the edit stays true to the episode with action sequences brought together for the main breaks in the track. Additional elements such as camera shake, sword slashes and glow effects add more punch to where the track drops. The logo transition and digital signage/screens were created to integrate the band's identity into the video as seamlessly as possible.
