California Soul, a music-focused project for Apple, captures a series of rhythmic performances set against the diverse topography of California. The film moves through contrasting landscapes, transitioning from solitary violin sessions on open sand dunes to percussion performances staged within palm-lined park paths.
Directed by Visie Admin, the production utilizes cinematic tracking shots to navigate through dense redwood forests, punctuated by wide drone footage. The aesthetic leans into natural light and warm, cinematic color grading to anchor the performances within their varied outdoor environments, with post-production and VFX handled by LOCKT.
