Meet Me Halfway by the Black Eyed Peas and Method Details
-
- Description:
Visual effects studio Method recently collaborated with Little Minx director Ben Mor on the music video for the Black Eyed Peas Billboard Top 10 hit, Meet Me Halfway. The video dispatches the four members of the Black Eyed Peas to different corners of the solar system: Fergie languors in a lush jungle, willi. I. Am rides an elephant on a moon of Jupiter, apl. De. Ap levitates above the ground of a desert planet, and Taboo hovers at the surface of the sun, wearing an astronaut suit. As they sing longingly about their desire to be together again, will. I. Am unlocks a portal that appears in each location. The Peas step through the portal and the video ends with a shot of four comets careening through the Earths atmosphere.
Mor shot the footage on partial sets built on blue screen and left it up to Method to extend the environments, from the desolate moonscape to the verdant jungle to the looming sun. Ben provided us with a spread of pictures and photos, then our matte painters took those concepts and fleshed it out to create these environments, explains Methods Creative Director Aron Hjartarson. Method relied on matte painting and CG set extensions to create four dramatically immersive environments, and the transition from set to set extensions is seamless. Method also granulated the footage to create a low-tech visual texture versus an overly sharp and crisp finish. A centerpiece of the video is the sun sequence. Taboo floats at the surface of the sun, bathed in a hot orange glare. The suns surface roils with flames and casts golden rays onto Taboos visor.
