Bjork: ‘Black Lake’ Video Development

XREZ Studio reveal their part in putting together a music video for Bjork and her MOMA restrospective, utilizing various digital capture techniques such as drone-assisted photogrammetry, laser scanning, and dome projection.

First, they tested some techniques to combine landscape and film capture:

In this video, we see more material that was formed specifically for the finished video:

And here, released today, is the ten minute final version which was shown at MOMA:

xRez Studio had the great pleasure of providing digital terrain capture for Björk’s recent special venue film “Black Lake”, featured at MoMA NYC in her retrospective exhibition in spring 2015 and directed by the gifted designer and director Andrew Thomas Huang . The effort consisted of capturing several locations shot for the film, including a dark, narrow lava tube cave, a volcanic ravine, an open moss-covered plain, and various set pieces on stage. The creation of digital facsimiles of these locations allowed the post work done at Wolf + Crow to allow more flexible CG backplates, integration with Houdini effects elements, and direct use for subsequent VR pieces. Every method xRez employs was used, from carbon pole and UAV photogrammetry, laser scanning with Faro scanners, spherical gigapixel panoramas, time lapse fulldome skies, etc.
