Geolines
This abstract background is a combination of swimming pool caustics and elevation lines used in topographical maps. It was created using “vanilla” After Effects, without any 3rd party plugins.
Witchcraft: RTFM
I completed this experimental piece over the period of three days in April 2009. I have been experimenting with Cinema 4D, and in the course of messing with various animation settings, came up with a cool morphing crystal. I built a simple scene around the crystal with an inexperienced girl magician blowing herself to pieces by activating its powers. You can see the full-size video at the project’s page on imago site, or a smaller version with a little extra, right here, after the break.
RGB Blobs
Procedural animation developed for Master of IDM project. Six blobs (2D metaballs) traveling on the surface of the sphere, combining in the additive color mode.
imago Reel 2006 DVD
This is an demo of the DVD menu structure designed for imago’s 2006 reel. The typography and illustrations were designed by Cigdem Keresteci, while I animated the loops and transitions and built the DVD itself.
Electron Probe
This one was created completely procedurally. The central particle mass is created using slightly modified preset of Trapcode Particular. The readouts were created using null objects orbiting the central sphere and feeding position data to series of expressions drawing lines and numbers.
Sine Sphere
This element was developed for the Neu project. The particle trail travels on a path defined by a sine wave, creating a lattice of a 3D object. Little, simple thing – but looks pretty
