Chemical Brothers


Role: 2D Plate Producer / Editor / Videography Client: The Chemical Brothers Type: XR Production / In-Camera FX

Brief To support the production of the “Live Again” music video by creating high-impact in-camera XR visuals that merged 2D plates with CG elements.

Contribution and Approach The project was completed through a single pre-light day and a one-day shoot. I prepared and managed all 2D plates and oversaw their playback inside the XR Volume, ensuring clean integration with foreground CGI elements added in post production.

I also captured and logged behind-the-scenes material to maintain visual continuity and support editorial decisions. Working closely with the director, VFX team, and XR engineers.


Achievements:

  • 'Live Again' was awarded the UK Dance/Electronic Video trophy as well as the Best Visual Effects award in 2024

  • Recognised for innovation in in-camera VFX workflows
