Why is his SuperHero video so special…?
“The creation of the Superhero video was inspired by Marvel & DC creations. The uniqueness of the video lies in the visual effects that were created exclusively using LED lights through a unique motion technique that resulted in Light Paintings formations. No graphics, animations, or VFX were used in the video,” said Rakesh.
“The Superhero video creation was exhaustive. We’ve captured around 12000 light painted images in a tenure of 9 months. It almost took 8 hours to shoot two seconds of a video effect. Playing all the images in a sequence will give a video effect with nice and natural visual effects. He added his video creation is the first of its kind for which he has done a lot of hard work”.
In the process of capturing experimental photographs with a DSLR, Rakesh discovered something interesting called Light Painting. He found the images of Light Painting equivalent to Graphic effect and this grabbed his attention of which he later developed a full-fledged Superhero creation.
Rakesh being a covid warrior himself in the lockdown (Product Leader-Healthcare company) and been inspired by the other warriors of covid, he commissioned his superhero to fight Covid by spreading awareness through an avenger-like creation. He felt it would be his part to spread awareness with his Superhero costume in the public. He is also promoting vaccine with the tag “Superheros saves the World so as Vaccines” and “Even a SuperHero has to wear a mask”. All this by referring to the example of his superhero video displayed in the public. He added, “Superhero videos and movies are more inspirational and influential to be more appealing for the social awareness”.
He added that the revenue generated out of his superhero video will be utilized for covid relief. His superhero video is yet to be released on YouTube and don’t miss the message-oriented visual effect creation.
