01 / THE IDEA
One world.Eight chapters.
A city beneath an artificial sky. A familiar world transformed into a war machine. People whose voices and memories resist its order. Machina Regum is a connected musical cycle by Lucifer Story, with each composition revealing another part of the story.
Brutalist architecture, black steel, cold light and occasional warm accents define its visual language. Recurring images connect the individual music videos with the album artwork.
02 / MUSICAL CHAPTERS

03 / MAKING THE IMAGES
Motion beginswith two frames.
Each scene has a starting and an ending state. Space, lighting and recognisable details must stay consistent, while the intended movement is clearly defined.
A / First frameB / Last frameConcept and storyboard
Each musical chapter is developed into scenes with a setting, action and sequence of shots.
Frames and animation
Visual references and frame pairs define the world and the movement within each scene.
Editing and artwork
Scenes become a musical narrative. The cover and release materials extend its visual language.
04 / RELEASE ARTWORK
The story continueson the cover.
The fortress-city becomes the central image of Machina Regum. Heavy architecture, the machine’s scale and amber light connect the artwork to the world of the films.
