Blackmagic Design today announced that Mexican immersive technology company XR Tales has incorporated its Ultimatte 12 compositing processor for virtual production on numerous projects, including Mexican pop band Jotdog's Cat strofes Perfumadas music video.

The music video, directed by Ian Martin and produced by XR Tales in collaboration with Guanamor Music and CM Films, is based on the popular science fiction novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Throughout the video, lead singer Mar a Barracuda and guitarist Jorge La Chiquis Amaro perform the song while a vibrant city in the midst of destruction serves as the backdrop.

The talent performed the song in front of a green screen in our studio, while at the same time we brought in virtual elements created using Unreal Engine to complete the scenes, said XR Tales' Director of Technology Adler Alonso Zamora Ruiz.

He explained, Because there was so much movement with the lead singer running away from zombies, being carried around by a huge gorilla and floating in the sky while aliens took her away, we needed to have full control to ensure it all came together and that the colo
