The definitive music video for Night City — REL (Arielle Sitrick)'s track from the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack — released for the game's 5th anniversary. A return to the cyberpunk universe the song was always calling for, translating its internal imagery into a futuristic visual aesthetic.

Built on a full photogrammetry scan of REL that I processed end-to-end — from source photography by Boris Haimov, captured in Haifa — then taken into Unreal Engine to build her MetaHuman and begin exploratory worldbuilding. The final visual merges traditional 3D worlds with AI models trained on her likeness — blending photogrammetry, digital environments designed by Mantrastic, and animations created with Flux, Nano Banana, and image-to-video processes. On screen, REL moves through multiple iterations of herself: human, hybrid, and mythic.

“Night City” explores the tension between danger and desire — a central theme of the cyberpunk universe — and circles back to identity as perpetual motion, one of REL's core themes.
