sound design
PUBLISHED ON
18/04/2021
DESCRIPTION
We asked our friends Jürgen Branz , Jochen Mader / Zenthing and John Black / cypher to try a different approach to create sound design. We wanted to split a track into 3 layers and each sound artist does one and send it over to the next one. Sounds good, doesn’t work - yet. For this exploration Jürgen did the first draft and Jochen took it from there and finished it. Next time John will take the lead and we’ll mix up the teams. Nevertheless it was a great learning. Especially talking about sound in general and being able to describe it as good as we talk about visuals. For us sound is the other half you need to make a good visual piece perfect.

The goal was to use a procedural animation that drives a reaction in the color output. We were using change range to add a secondary motion, to create a more complex behavior.

Cutting wood
PUBLISHED ON
14/03/2021
DESCRIPTION
We were playing with different material setups, like the substance material library, some procedural textures, but also alpha masks and smart materials. There are definitely some limitations for details, especially in close ups. Though Redshift displacement helps a lot to merge different image qualities.
