Corner Of The Earth: how a sequence of the video was made!
Hello Jamirotalkers,
While checking the web, I found a very interesting site where it says how the video for Corner Of The Earth was made (actually the Solar System part... my favorite one!!!):
"Using REALVIZ MatchMover Professional, UK-based visual effects and animation company Clear Ltd. has completed key effects for the music video projects Jamiroquai’s "Corner of the Earth" and Sugababes' "Round Round." Steve Garrad, producer on both projects, explains how the different elements came together. "For 'Corner of the Earth,' the aim was to create a photo-real representation of the solar system revolving around [lead singer] Jay Kay. Jay Kay particularly liked this part of the treatment, so the sequence had to look believable in terms of the look of the planets within the solar system, and sit believably into the environment as shot." To accomplish this, Clear artists conformed the live-action plates in Discreet Inferno and exported them into MatchMover Professional for tracking. Then the "solar system," including planets, a star field and a comet, were all modelled, animated and textured in SOFTIMAGE|XSI and the final compositing completed in Inferno. "All the moving live-action plates that needed the CGI solar system were tracked using REALVIZ MatchMover Professional," said Garrad. "MatchMover Professional produced excellent results. The turnaround was quick yet completely accurate." REALVIZ's applications have been used to create effects in various feature film and television projects, including the Hallmark Entertainment mini-series DINOTOPIA, HART’S WAR, SWORDFISH and MONKEY BONE.

Very insightful!!!
 Hello,
(Breaks the monotomy and uses the "blue-colored" buffalomen for a change.. )  !)
 Great info, Diego, didn't know about any of that ! Very interesting, I didn't realize it was so tech-minded! I just thought it was JK, dressed like a Indian, out in the middle of a South African woods, with a camera crew and a bunch of dingos....  err, tamed wolves, snakes and wild things....  Oh My ! Thanks again Diego ! Peace!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
P.S. This is my 650th post on JamiroTalk.net...I'm I keep truckin' on !

Corner of the Earth is the only video worth salvaging from the AFO bunch, in my opinion. I wonder how much that effect was worth. To me, it works nicely especially with the comet. If you EVER see a comet with your own eyes, count yourself lucky.

 My dad's angry with me...  He is right of course: when I read this I shouted so loud that he thought someone was killing me Poor Flor!  hehe the fact of the matter is that I'm really stoned (many of you should be thinking that this is just a post, but it's not an ordinary post, it's a COTE post, you get it? you get it? ). I'm sorry, I always feel like this (Ed knows this better than anyone else hehe) Thank you Dy! Thank you Ed for remembering me when you read this .
