"The wall was so pink and Enrique's shirt was maroon. I wanted to keep his skin tone warm but not lose him in the shot." One of the tweaks requested by Craven involved the shot of the girl against a fence with a blown-out back- ground behind her. "The blown-out look was what he wanted, but not so harsh," she explains. "So I soft-clipped the backlight and evened out her skin tone then sent it to beauty." Beauty work was performed by LA VFX house, StarBeast. Diaz also worked on the scene with Nicky, the girl and in-camera reflections. "I had to keep the focus more on him," she recalls. "I used a Power Window to vignette him and drop the light on the left side of the frame to keep him in silhou- ette. Then I used a Power Window on the girl's reflections to brighten her up." The duet has reached the top of the Billboard Latin charts and is a huge hit in the Spanish-speaking world and Europe. TWILIGHT 13 MEDIA: SLAVE Costin Chioreanu of Bucharest, Romania- based Twilight 13 Media (www.twilight 13media.com), has been working with Norwegian band Leprous since 2013, when he crafted an art poster for their show at the Roadburn festival. He de- signed the screen content for their last tour and recently created the all-graphic lyric video, Slave, from the band's The Congregation album. Chioreanu took an auteur approach to Slave, developing the concept, photo animations and text design for the black-and-white clip, which features abstracted images of captivity, including chain-link fencing and barbed wire. The lyrics appear and fade on screen in type fonts ranging from thin and delicate to bold and screaming to match the tone of the vocals. "The band sent me a one-sentence brief, and I focused on that," says Chioreanu. "The rest was the result of my interpretation and work; the project was not different than others, as many clients trust my inner eye. What was cool this time was the overall aesthetic of the video — something mostly abstract and minimalist — some things that I really en- joy even though I don't often get projects in that vein." Cinelicious' Caitlin Diaz saturated colors to reflect the vibrance of Columbia for this Nicky Jam/Enrique Iglesias duet, El Perdon.
