My Universe
My Universe placed Coldplay and BTS inside a CGI world whose energy still had to begin with physical camera movement.
Working with Freejoy and director Dave Meyers, Andriu FPV split the job between protected drones close to the performers and RAW FPV for the wider cinema lines, designing clean movement that remained readable through the VFX process.

The music video was conceived around an extensive CGI world, but the physical drone movement still had to carry the energy of the final sequence. Flights passed less than a metre from Chris Martin and other performers, including a protected-drone move beneath a performer's legs. The footage needed to remain useful even as the surrounding environment was rebuilt digitally.
We separated the close human interaction from the larger cinema moves, using protected FPV around performers and RAW FPV for the broader dynamic language. The lines were designed with clean silhouettes and readable motion so they survived the VFX process. The collaboration also established a relationship with Chris Martin that continued on later work.
