VFX for Marc Anthony - Latin GRAMMY Winner [2021]

Marc Anthony's staying power spans decades — three-time Grammy winner, nine-time Latin Grammy winner, and one of Latin music's most enduring voices. His 2019 album Opus, which earned a Grammy for Best Tropical Album, was built around "Un Amor Eterno," the very song that inspired him to record the album in the first place. A year after its original salsa release, "Un Amor Eterno" got a ballad version — trading upbeat rhythm for a sensual serenade — with a music video shot at Marc Anthony's own Miami mansion in 2020 under strict pandemic filming protocols. Directed by Carlos R. Pérez, the video unfolds through crystal chandeliers, tender garden kisses, and slow-motion underwater dances, with recurring shots of clocks throughout the house underscoring the song's theme of a love that transcends time. FRENDER handled the video's visual effects and postproduction, contributing to a video that went on to win the 2021 Latin Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video, alongside a nomination for Record of the Year.

In 2019 we received yet another album from Marc Anthony – ‘Opus’, that’s got a Grammy for the Best Tropical Album in 2020. Included in ‘Opus’, Marc Anthony’s new song ‘Un Amor Eterno’ held such a special place in his heart, it was actually THE song that made him record a new album in the first place.

A year later after the release, ‘Un Amor Eterno’ has got a ballad version. From upbeat salsa it turned into a sensual serenade, a love letter to the woman of the artist’s dreams. Marc Anthony uses lyrics of ‘Un Amor Eterno’ to make us believe in the true feeling that uplifts us, makes the world around us a better place.

The music video for the ballad version draws pictures from a beautiful fairytale, with crystal chandeliers, tender kisses in a garden, and slowmo dances under water. The video for ‘Un Amor Eterno’ (Versión balada) has brought Marc Anthony two Latin Grammy Nominations – The Record of the Year and The Best Short Form Video.

‘Un Amor Eterno’ was shot in 2020 in Marc Anthony’s Miami mansion under strict regulations needed for filming during the pandemic. One of the most influential Latinos in the US, Carlos Perez, directed the music video and filled it with beautiful scenes of sensuality. The clocks around the house accentuate the artist's longing for eternal love that can’t be measured in minutes and hours, but goes way beyond that.

A VFX studio FRENDER from Los Angeles was in charge of delivering high-quality visual effects and postproduction. FRENDER surely understood the assignment, so that ‘Un Amor Eterno’ music video took home a Latin Grammy win in the category Best Short Form Video.
