Mixing and matching 2d and 3d

February 1, 2010 by playmade

Always fun to create a video by mixing and matching 2d and 3d elements. Together, with the creatives from Oskar D, we created a walk-or-fly-through video. The video  shows the many features about a ‘to be build project’. It’s 2010 and i really need to create a new demo-reel, some excerpts of this video will definitely show up in the reel.

Let’s all have a great 2010!

The vintage look on stage

January 4, 2010 by playmade

It’s no secret, i love vintage looking things. Upcoming weeks i will be on the road to bring some motion graphics on the screen. Interesting and challenging part is the fact that i will be bringing the “vintage-looking-motion-graphics” live on the music. Techno music you think? … no…  it’s folk!

Creating Content for Holographic Projection

December 4, 2009 by playmade

You got to see it to believe it. I was asked to create content for holographic display. Certainly not an easy task, the projection was a +/- 40 minutes speech containing lot’s of floating 3D elements, video, animations and such… The biggest challenge was synchronizing the arm movements with certain floating objects.

3D Visuals for Almost Invisible Products

December 4, 2009 by playmade

When creating a product video, shooting and editing the video isn’t sometimes enough to get the message across. Certainly when you need to explain how certain things work. For this video i was asked to create realistic looking products in 3D and animate them so that the viewer gets an idea of how the product actually works.

Once upon a time… some decades ago, i sort of occupied my time in school, with  rather technical classes. The knowledge, from back in the days, came in very handy for this job. Starting with some 2d  drawings, i created these 3d product drawings with a rather realistic look.

One For The Road

We all know the situation, construction and road works are always taking place just we you need to get someplace fast. I’ve been asked to create 5 little  animation clips to put the ’spotlight’ on those workers, who make sure, we can hit the road  in a save way.
