Harmonic Distortions

3D animation extracted from Analogik sampler DVD featuring some innovative and interactive animation methods such as equiliser and sound/data driven 3D object morphing.

Inspiration for this piece came with some coffee and a late night Jazz session in Valley (Brisbane).

3D Speaker

The color design for the speaker came from a building I saw at night - It was shades of grey and at the very top of the building was a neon strip that ran all the way around. I thought that this would make a nice 3d object especially if I could get a similar glow to the object.

Alpha Infection

Originating from a concept design that Dejan had sent (original work of Damjan Stankovic), this project was my visual response to some of the elements that were in the design. The metaphor was that of scanning for a virus in a spherical matrix of data – I looked at this file later and thought that it could be part of the ‘operating system’ of the 3d speaker. A virus in a speaker?

Red Death

Once again a 3d object with 2d animations tracked. The concept for this work was trying to tune a television and not being able to find clear reception. The 3d object is an animated displacement map on a sphere. Camera moves are a lot freeer and cleaner than the other works as I wanted to give the effect of exploring rather than being told what to look at.
