lumina

Lumina was a project created in collaboration with Alice Signorelli for the SMTH Competition. We had to create a video responding to the idea of “Digital Reflections”, reflecting on how social media shapes our identity: is it a tool for personal growth or self-distruction?
When investigating the concept of digital reflections, we realised we both had the same experience. We see the internet as an open door for exploring the infinite possibilities of our identity that we otherwise wouldn't even imagine. In our video, the main character leads a frustrating and meaningless life, because what she sees around her doesn't satisfy her. Once a change in perspective occurs, she discovers a new world of possibilities and therefore realises that there is not only one way to live. She is now able to choose a path that truly resonates with her.


To create this video we shot al the footage on green screen. We then created an environement in Blender, modelling and animating different assets. Then, we composited the videos on the rendered shots of our Blender scene, through keying and camera tracking on Nuke. Finally, we edited the video all together and added sound design to better communicate our idea.
