Vessi Website and Social Media

Vessi

Vessi Animation is a promotional animation created for a boot. The animation presents the product through natural visual elements that link the footwear to the lifestyle of the customer. Water relates to the features of the boot, while clouds suggest lightness. The boot was modeled with hard surface techniques in 3ds Max, using photographs as reference, and leather textures were applied. Rendering was done with Redshift and simulations with Houdini. The animation was used on the product website and on social media, without explanatory text.

Nomad Animation

Nomad

Nomad is a science fiction animated short film about the future of the Amazon rainforest. The film shows a moving city that can carry Amazonian tribes to new habitable areas when a location can no longer support human life. The machines in Nomad keep a mechanical structure but are built mainly from natural materials instead of metal. This nature inspired approach avoids the coldness of traditional machinery and gives the city a sense of vitality. Sketches and storyboards were made first, followed by modeling, animation, rendering and compositing. Motion capture was used for the characters.

Nunn Bush 3D Product Animation

Nunn Bush

The project was made to show all the features of the product in a fun way by being informative but without being annoying. The purpose was to show the construction of the shoe. The inspiration came through the research about elements that could represent the product, like nature with all the colors and moods. The shoe was modeled using photographs as a reference and hard surface 3D modeling techniques. For modeling, designers used the software C4D. All the textures were made using leather texture and some photoshop brushes. Vray was used for rendering and Houdini for Simulations.

Preludes Mixed Media Animation

Preludes

Preludes is a short mixed media animation based on the poem of the same name by T.S. Eliot. The film runs for one minute and eight seconds and pairs Eliot's imagery with an original musical composition. Scenes are linked by theme and by sound rather than by a single visual style. The work combines 2D and 3D animation, modelled in Cinema 4D, rendered with Redshift and composited in After Effects. Aerial views shift to street level, where figures pass one another behind screens. The animation reflects on modern life through an older text.

Alignment to Air 3D Animation

Alignment to Air

As for the creative letter animation, Jin started with the alphabet "A". And, when it comes to the concept step, he tried to see more vigorous moods reflecting on his philosophy which is quite active but organizing at the same time. Along the way, he came up with the conflicting words thoroughly standing for his idea in some way such as align to air which is the title of this project. With that in mind, the animation presents more precise and delicate moments on the first word. On the other hand, this ends up with a rather flexible and loose vibe to manifest the last letter.
