Ingenuity Engine Transforms Chris Brown Details

- Description:
Boutique visual effects studio Ingenuity Engine has collaborated once again with director Joseph Kahn on a futuristic new music video for RnB singer Chris Browns track 'I Can Transform Ya,' the first single off his forthcoming album Graffiti (due Dec. 8). Ingenuity Engine created a VFX-intensive and hyper-stylized world for the video, which premiered Oct. 27th and features Chris Brown, producer Swizz Beatz and rapper Lil Wayne as they deconstruct and shapeshift into sports cars, armored tanks, helicopters and other objects. Ingenuity Engine Transforms Chris Brown brown_couple Ingenuity Engine has had a longstanding relationship with Kahn, having previously worked with the director on the Chris Brown music videos 'Crawl' (the next single off Graffiti) and Forever, as well as numerous television commercial projects. Ingenuity Engines ability to work in short hand with the director, along with the nimbleness and multi-disciplinary make-up of its team, enabled the studio to complete the music video with a team of 10 in just a week-and-a-half from start to finish. The 'I Can Transform Ya' music video opens as a jet-black sports car careens across the screen. It morphs into Chris Brown, armed with a can of spray paint and tagging the name of the title track on the wall. Set against an entirely all-white backdrop, the clip highlights Browns dance moves, which he performs alongside a ninja-outfitted crew. Ingenuity Engine contributed numerous signature effects, including shape-shifting Brown and company into tanks, motorcycles and other fantasy toys, which the team modeled and animated by hand in Autodesk 3ds Max, building a particle system comprised of engine parts to fill the interiors of the various vehicles. Ingenuity Engine also custom developed a transition effect in which the performers morph into clusters of CGI ribbons, and contributed CG extensions to a robot-enhanced suit worn by a voluptuous biker babe.
