So in February 2013 I worked at the famous ‘The Mill’ in London for a couple of weeks on a few projects. The Mill is an award winning studio having won an Oscar as well as working on a vast array of famous films and tv shows doing visual effects and filming. They probably have the most impressive portfolio of a studio, so it was great that I was given the chance to dip myself into this new world. I learnt a lot from my brief time and it was an ace experience to see how the inner workings of such a studio runs.
Below is part of a research illustration I came up with for one of the projects.
Working on some recent projects has prompted me to learn more motion graphics/after effects mainly looking into controlling visuals with audio as well playing with particles. A couple of tests below show what I’ve been messing about with.
Following on from these experiments I worked with a video of my head and transformed it into particles and seeing what I could come up with. (Very similar to the effect used in Radiohead’s – ‘House of Cards’ video) As a result of this I created some artwork for a friend’s band ‘Hot Glass’. The beauty of working this way means not only can you produce static imagery, it can later be manipulated into a motion format!
Good question, not much bar trying to create new pieces as part of the ‘imaginary worlds’ saga. Great word that, saga…
Anywho, I have also been learning new software and skills in the way of video and live action editing. (Been doing lots of video visuals as of late). This basically means controlling and adding effects to live video as it happens. I have been mainly using Max6 and After Effects to achieve some cools effects (even created my own guitar delay pedal in the process!). Some screenshots of the mad stuff I’ve come up with can be seen below, not sure how this will feed into my work, but we will see…
Just a quick post to say if you have any comments about the site or work then please drop me a line, happy to hear criticism! Also if you are interested in a collaboration or anything then do contact!
Just some basic typo play with a great typeface…
