It’s been a long time since I worked with 3D, and my early attempts were always marked by an amateurish aesthetic and lack of design consideration. For my first independent study project, I focused on created a high-resolution, visually rich typographic piece.
Created in 3dsmax, polished in Photoshop.
I’m finishing up my final project for my 2D Animation course, and wanted to post a bit of what I’ve been working on. Synesthesia has been a major influence on my work, so for my first major project I wanted to focus on the visualization of sound.
Based on some sketches I drew during the last few years, I created some distinct geometric patterns in Photoshop and animated them using After Effects. Set to Ratatat’s track “Mirando,” these first 30 seconds use a lot of post-processing effects and filters that make rendering in my chosen resolution (1080i) ridiculously tedious. So far I’m happy with how it’s turning out, expect much more to come. I’m hoping to have the piece complete for exhibition at an Ars Nova group show on December 10th.
