Elastic powers AI-driven search for many of the apps you probably use everyday. They chose Algo to craft the motion design content for their new hero campaign — featuring a giant wraparound display of 30+ meters made of LED Volume screens, the same tech behind today’s big-budget films & tv series. It’s mind-blowing to see a single human standing in front of that giant screen.

In the first half of the video CEO Ashutosh Kulkarni speaks in front of an abstract geometrical virtual environment with constant interactions between his words & our visuals. In the second half, instead, the screen disappears by being used to virtually extend the shooting environments.

We maintained the space themed setting & the brand color palette, but steered away from a more figurative illustration style (with textures) and driving instead towards gradients, modern abstract graphic design & optical art. Many of the shots have a procedural nature that was achieved by using Cavalry both in the design & animation process.

Our R&D director came to help by building a visualizer / stage mockup that allowed our designers (first) & animators (later) to easily picture what the effect of their shots would be on screen.

After 1.5 months of preparation, our team flew to San Francisco for the shooting. We worked closely with the Disguise team to set up the virtual set environment for our shots & then had 1 pre-light day on location before the shoot day, to make sure everything would run smoothly.

On shoot day, the backdrop graphics weren’t composited, instead everything was shot in–camera, so the sync with the CEO posed some challenges. We exported our 12K video assets at a higher frame rate (72fps) to make sure the playback could be speed up to 1.25x or slowed down to 0.75x, directly on set. This gave enough flexibility for the control room to guarantee perfect sync with the CEO delivery on every shot.
