Visuals projected onto layers of semi-transparent fabric hung in strips from the ceiling. A test I did for a gig with Trigger in Bristol, this footage looks better than the footage from the event, as I didnt get to set up the strips.
I made the footage myself, using a mix of filmed footage and After Effects work. I then ‘play’ the individual layers live using VDMX, along with twisted electro-breaks and electronica. The effect I’m trying to achieve is that of skewed perspectives. A co-ordinate system crash. The footage deals in multiple perspectives, with the 3D camera usually floating around some object. The footage can beam through several layers of fabric, and the effect is that the footage just hangs in the air. The whole thing constantly shifts, and never resolves itself, a kind of probability wave in a continuum of never-quite-thereness. I hope to do more of this kind of thing this year.
Movie cut entirely from old Landrover TV ads, shown online as part of their birthday celebrations. I looked at over 30 ads, and compiled this from the best bits, trying to keep a natural rhythm to both the audio and the video. Commissioned by Wunderman, using nothing but the original adverts, with straight cuts between them. No fancy stuff.
Rich Media expandable banner and overlay commissioned by Wunderman, based on Landrover’s ‘Cinematographer’ campaign. Video, including the TV ad, was treated and edited in After Effects, and is streamed into the banner and the overlay. I think it won some kind of award.
Expandable banner featuring streamed motion graphics, commissioned by Wunderman. I was given a piece of music, and a TV ad to base this design on. I created the lines and notes In After Effects, and synchronised it with the soundtrack, then exported it a black and white FLV into Flash, where I layered it up with blue and green ‘lighting’. This techniques is very effective - it keeps the file-size of the video down, and the Flash gradients come out perfect, colourising the B/W video. The video streams into the Flash banner, which gets round any file-size issues.
