MED spring/summer 2010

short sponsor-promo for MED luxurious lingerie & swimwear created at beetroot. (model : k.stikoudi)
the motion layers were created via the use of simulated slit-scan technique and were then mapped onto rotating particle planes by Trapcode Form.

more on “summer” by marsheaux!

now part of the permanent “official” Trapcode Gallery !!

see? it really pays to use the best particle system for motion graphics in the world !

thank you Peder Norrby !

extrawelt – Was Übrig Bleibt

golgotha and circle closes..

here is the video for EXTRAWELT‘s “Was Übrig Bleibt” (Traum Schallplatten Köln ©2009).

unfortunately, this should have been finished and released a lot earlier, in the fall of last year, however, things got slightly out of hand due to, somewhat, severe extraneous circumstances (äußere Umstände)…

during the development period i have had the chance to do extensive experimentation with very complex particle behaviours and liquid simulations which was utter fun!

most of the renderings were generated with FumeFX and the brilliant Krakatoa (i do prefer the grainy renders to the voxels, still!).

all of the visual elements and even the space warps and particle forces have been animated (via scripting) upon spectrally extracted audio parts.

i have also used a bit of MaxMSP- jitter in order to generate & synchronise the offset contours (of the CG terrains) based on both luminance, as well as, spectral (audio) information.

the resulting algorithms, under very low offset values created the ‘crystal-ised’ / ‘mountains of sound’ look for the conclusion of the piece.

finally, i have to apologise to EXTRAWELT, yet, once again, for the tremendous delay in execution. and, also, state, that they are one of my top bands, – especially their stuf on Traum which veers more on the ‘intelligent’ & even ‘electro’ side of things.

get their stuff online at boomkat and enjoy the visuals!
