“We literally designed the world from the ground up next to the director, discussing details, proposing new ideas on the way. Being able to have such creative space lifted us and kept the fire burning until the very last minute.”

Mathematic VFX supervisor/CD Guillaume Cottet: “Time was the real challenge here: We had one and a half months to make a three-minute full-CG film.
“On top of this, what was especially precious for us was the freedom of creativity and artistic options they gave us to think through these different tableaux.

Here’s a reasonably-NSFW way to end the week: Lil Nas X escorts us into the world of Montero, a raunchy alternate reality named for himself (he was born Montero Lamar Hill), and obviously designed to stir up a fuss.
“The set was in LA (shot in two days in the middle of a pandemic) and post-production in Paris. It still sounds insane while I am writing it, but it ended up being an amazing ride.

“First, of course, because of the amazing team we had at Mathematic. From concept artists to animators, from crowd specialists to motion designers, the talent and energy that went into this were phenomenal. Everybody was passionate about the whole visual universe and the underlying message. The deadline became part of the adrenalin!
