From the first vocal takes to the final visual touches, these clips reveal the passion, dedication, and artistry behind every part of the project.
Glenn Welman — drums
In this live studio session, the drums bring raw power and drive to the song, setting the tempo and shaping its intensity. Every beat adds energy, momentum, and emotional depth, giving the music its heartbeat and dynamic force.
Pierre Von Guersing — vocals
Behind the scenes of Pierre’s recording session — where the character truly begins to take shape. Voice casting is crucial: the right voice doesn’t just sing the lines, it carries the personality and emotion of the character to the audience.
Roberto Pace — bass
The bass guitar provides the core and emotional grounding of the track. It connects rhythm and harmony, adds weight and richness, and creates a solid foundation that keeps the feeling steady and powerful throughout the song.
Gina Sobol — flute
Nina Uzelac — cello
In this live session, the leading flute carries the main melodic line with clarity and emotional intensity, while the cello weaves a counterpoint beneath it, adding depth and dramatic tension. The dialogue between these two instruments creates a rich melodic harmony, where lightness and gravity coexist in perfect balance. This performance captures a small but powerful fragment of the musical’s final apotheosis, revealing the emotional peak of the story through expressive live playing.
Josh Salzillo — keyboards
The sound of the Yamaha DX7 brings its unmistakable electric piano tone to the track. Its bright, expressive character and authentic ’80s texture add clarity, emotion, and a shimmering warmth that can’t be confused with anything else.
Igor Vlasenko — guitar
In this live session, the guitar delivers powerful chords that inject drive and intensity exactly where the music needs it. Each strike adds aggression, energy, and momentum, pushing the song forward and giving it a bold, commanding presence.
Digital Stagecraft
coming soon...
In this section, you’ll get an inside look at 3D characters, animations, and environments in action. These videos showcase fully realized characters, animated scenes, and immersive environments, revealing the artistry and techniques that bring the world of the musical to life in three dimensions. You’ll see how every element moves, interacts, and creates a lifelike experience.
Character Creation
coming soon...
Character creation is where historical figures begin to take visual form. By studying historical references, artworks, and sculptures, each character is carefully shaped to capture recognizable features and personality. The goal is to transform these inspirations into believable digital characters that feel authentic and alive on screen.
Behind the scenes of bringing Cleopatra to life in 3D. The goal is to capture not just a character, but the essence of the historical figure by carefully studying her most well-known images. Every detail is shaped to preserve the recognizable features and timeless elegance associated with Cleopatra, blending historical inspiration with modern digital artistry to recreate her presence on screen.
During the development of the 3D character of Julius Caesar, the focus was on interpreting historical references and classical sculptures that have shaped how we imagine him today. The challenge is to translate those iconic features into a believable digital character while preserving the strength, intelligence, and authority associated with the Roman leader.
Character Animation
coming soon...
Character animation is where the personality of a character is expressed through movement. Every gesture, expression, and subtle motion is carefully designed to convey emotion and intent, turning static models into dynamic, engaging figures that tell a story through their actions.
Animating Cleopatra for Raindrop’s Fall brings her performance to life. Every gesture, expression, and movement is carefully crafted to match the song’s rhythm and emotion, turning her presence into a living, breathing part of the story.
Animating the orchestra conductor focuses on precision, timing, and presence. Every baton movement, subtle gesture, and posture communicates with the musicians, shaping the tempo and emotion of the performance while keeping the audience engaged with the scene.
Environments & Scenes
coming soon...
Environment and scene creation is where worlds begin to take shape. Every element—from landscape and architecture to lighting and atmosphere—is carefully designed to support the story and immerse the viewer. The goal is to craft spaces that feel lived-in and purposeful, guiding the audience naturally through the narrative.
This is a fragment from the final song of the first part, Rule and Love, performed on a concert stage designed in the style of Ancient Egypt. The set, costumes, and lighting all draw inspiration from Egyptian motifs, creating a visually striking atmosphere that complements the music and story.
This duet is set against a luxurious Ancient Egyptian-inspired stage, where opulent details and refined design elevate the performance. Every element—from gilded accents to elegant lighting—enhances the atmosphere, creating a sophisticated and immersive experience that complements the music and the performers’ presence.
