Dance Alone | Sia x Kylie
Curating transformative visual effects for artists SIA and Kylie Minogue in their new music video release, Dance Alone.
Diving in, the team created a psychedelic atmosphere out of a physical cave set to represent the mind of the artist Kylie. In collaboration with director Dano Cerny, the project required several concept developments before landing on the final design. The project also called for multiplicity as some of the shots were being shared back and forth between Abyss Digital in Ukraine and our company in Texas, White Rhino VFX, to ensure the set extensions blended with the supplemental cleanup. In addition, our sister company, Hush Beauty VFX, also provided all the beauty work, resulting in a flawless finish.
The team wants to thank Dreambear Productions, Abyss Digital, Hush Beauty VFX, and Digital Sword for creating truly stunning visuals. Watch Sia x Kylie’s Dance Alone video to see our magic come to life.
