Virtue VIO Contour II Goggle
An smooth-moving tour of the intricately-ventilated surface of Virtue’s top-of-the-line paintball mask, presented in a way that treats the curve-filled surface of the goggle like if it were an alien planet. The video’s primary aesthetic is seamlessly transitioning with fades between surface and gameplay videos of the goggle in use by players, overlayed on the “contours” of the goggle as it spins. It allowed me to explore one of my favorite things to do: overlay or otherwise include another shot inside a proverbial framing device - in this case a goggle’s surface but in other cases just a picture-in-picture - and fade out of it to what would otherwise be a black screen but in this case a jarring mental transition to the original imagery. Just add callouts and other angles and what’s left is a smooth product video that capitalizes on the ubiquity of a simple turntable and a couple of lights.
