The entire production took place in a studio, where we created and constructed every set from the ground up. The concept of the video required a deep exploration of different time periods, as the central character grows up across three distinct stages: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Each stage represents a different era, but all exist within the same cohesive universe.

Our challenge was to design and build three rooms with identical proportions and spatial layouts, allowing for a seamless “tunnel effect” as the camera moves through each stage of life. This required precise coordination in set design and careful attention to era-specific details to make each period visually authentic while maintaining the consistency needed for the visual flow.

To achieve this tunnel effect, we collaborated closely with a VFX/3D team, aligning camera movements and perspectives across the three sets. This integration of practical and digital elements allowed us to create a visually compelling transition between time periods, making the passage of time feel both natural and immersive.
