Going Major

As I'm approaching the third and (hopefully) final year of my computer animation course, I am starting to fill my sleepless nights with thought of my Majort, the project on which I will work on troughout most of the year. After many concepts, storyboards and proposals I decided to go solo and produce a fast paced project about birth, life and death of a small planet, hopefully improving my VFX skills trying to nail that formula for visuals that make people go for a combination of "Ohhh", "Awww" and "Whoa". I'll keep you updated.

Showreel 2012

Here is a showreel featuring a short and hopefully not boring selection of some of the things I've worked on during my first 2 years of University. It is by no means anything spectacular, but I feel confident about the amount of things I've learned and can only look forward to more. Let's keep being awesome.

QBeat

At this point, you probably got that I love cubes. Another thing that makes me feel all fuzzy inside are synaesthetic experiences. When I had to choose what to tackle for this University project, things went naturally in this direction.



QBeat is a music video I created with Houdini. All the animation you see in the video is procedurally generated by the awesome audio track from BIT.TRIP RUNNER. The Houdini asset I built samples a few frequencies ranges from the music and use the resulting data to make cool things happen. Neat.

The entire project was a stab in the dark as I never used Houdini before and what was I jumping in wasn't exactly the simplest thing to start with. But in the end I am happy with the result.
