Commissioned by VEVO, Nocte worked in collaboration with acclaimed director Giorgio Testi from Pulse Films to deliver three music videos using Extended Reality (XR technology) for Ellie Goulding’s new album "Brightest Blue".
Nocte was responsible for the creative direction, content creation, and co-production of the music videos alongside Pulse Films.
Virtual environments unraveled in real-time continuously shifting into place to frame cinematic moments of unimagined realities.
Each song embodied a different conceptual approach, transitioning from an intimate experience of a live set with no augmented reality (AR) to a fully immersive virtual world. Changing in real-time, the music videos combined various virtual elements and augmented reality effects to create a dynamic, immersive journey through music and film.
Nocte partnered with MARS Studios to deliver a state-of-the-art live performance showcasing the possibilities of the xR technology.
