OUR MAGIC

The music video Our Magic by Zabrecky is a spellbinding journey celebrating the world’s greatest magicians, mentalists, and escape artists. Blending surreal animation, precise lip sync, live-action sequences, handmade old-school editing and animation techniques, filmic textures, and AI-generated visuals, this mesmerizing tribute was directed by filmmaker David Kelley for mentalist and magician Rob Zabrecky.

Released by In the Red Records, Our Magic offers a dreamlike exploration of illusion and imagination. The video brings still photography of legendary magicians to life through compositing and AI manipulation. Band members were filmed against a green screen and seamlessly integrated into scenes, with additional compositing techniques used to animate faces onto bodies via Mocha tracking and PowerMesh. Traditional animation methods were also employed to animate 2D photo montages of the characters, enhancing the surreal aesthetic.
