- about the project
Challenge
Studio Shades® collaborated with Sony Music India and Sony Music Malaysia to create the large-scale international music video “Vera Level” featuring Malaysian independent artist Kidd Santhe. Built around a high-energy auto race narrative between the protagonist and a rival gang, the project demanded a visually immersive cinematic experience that blended action storytelling with the energy and rhythm of the track.
The challenge was to create a unique visual identity that could elevate the song beyond audio while delivering large-scale action visuals, stylized cinematic storytelling, and strong audience engagement. Every frame was carefully designed to balance performance, atmosphere, racing sequences, and cinematic intensity while maintaining a modern and impactful visual aesthetic.

Studio Shades® developed a complete creative workflow for the music video, handling everything from concept ideation and pre-production planning to filming and final execution. Our team focused on cinematic visuals, dynamic camera movements, drone cinematography, stylized lighting, and seamless editing techniques to bring the artist’s vision to life.
One of the standout elements of this project was the creation of custom race autos built from scrap materials and modified into racing machines specifically for the film. We also integrated AI-generated elements and characters into the production workflow, using multiple AI tools to enhance visuals and optimize production within budget constraints. By combining storytelling, action-driven sequences, advanced cinematography, and AI-assisted creative production, we crafted a visually engaging music video experience designed for global digital audiences.
